Good Morning Listers...
Well apart from my springs giving me a bit of grief - everything was running fine yesterday. Until about 10 miles from home - travelling at a comfy 80 - woooohhhhh Power loss - the revs were keeping up - but if I let them drop, they didnt come back up very quick. So the car limped home, and for the first time in months I saw a spit, whilst I was actually in my Spit (in Enfield) Basically the car revs - but it basically shudders as it speeds up. So I got home, and let the car cool off. Checked the exhaust - not that it could be linked, but there was indeed a small leak at the back end. Solved that - didnt make much difference - but it was significant in my lack of power problem before - I think/hope. So, it must be fuel, I checked the fuel flow from the pump, and the pump filter - thats all ok. The pump filter was a bit dirty - as I had cleaned it a few months ago - but I dont think it was significant - anyway - the fuel was flowing freely. Checked the spark plugs - rather albino - yesterday they were nice biscuit coloured. So it must be fuel starvation. So it must the the carbs, gunked up with something. It was dark by this point. However when I get home tonight I'll have to check. (Using my mum's Fiesta again - she says "what's the point in you having a car?") Which leads me to my question/s; how do you clean a carb? or... does anyone have any other suggestions?
