Hi Guys n gals,
I've got an F/'89 R19 1.4energy GTS (in Silver)
Every now and then when i go to put my foot down it will have a flat spot. It's really annoying, especially when trying to overtake.
Now, it's got a carb (Webber 32 TLDR) so surly it's something to do with that. (Mixture or something)
I blasted it with Carb cleaner about 3 monthes ago (and belive me, alot of shit came out) so she is clean.
I run a bottle of Redex through it every 5 or 6 tanks fulls of optimax, so it can't be a dirty injector.
Can any one help. I know that the majority of you have 16valvers, but i'm sure you must still know what's goin on.
Cheers guys
Ben |

take the carb off and clean it that way.
In other words do it properly. I have photos somewhere and I will do a tech article on it.
But tbh the carb needs a rebuild kit, a thorough clean might get a bit more from it but the carb is filled with springs and diagphrams, a carb rebuild kit is 30 ish quid and supplies all these bits new.
Get in touch with webcon to see you nearest supplier.
Anyway if its more now and then a bit of dirt will be causign the problem as well so take th ecab off the car 4 T 30 long screws then seperate the 2 halves of the cab mindign the gasket if you don't have a new one and then clean it all out. |
