vit stumbles between 3000 and 4000 RPM only does it every couple of weeks but not in first gear. I've been told that royce might know, but any help will be appreciated.

Cheers

go find a pitch black location and open the bonnet and watch it idle, see if you get a glow off your plug leads

have a real good look around the leads for little black marks that are signs of them arcing

[The_GRIZZ]

The leads are brand new, forgot to ad to other post there is only a dribble of fuel entering the carby cause i had a look the other day.

Cheers

check fuel filter maybe then

[oi_dan_suzi]

G'day

Check the plugs.

If the car was idling the fuel should only drip in thats normal.

If plugs doesnt work id be looking at the carby, check fuel filter and if you have a compressor blow both return and intake fuel lines.

it was while sitting i'd not switched on. i'd push the accelarator and it just dribbles i would've thought it would put out a healthy stream, thats what the book i've got says. plugs are new and so is the fuel filter.

[royce]

was it doing it with the old leads?

[The_GRIZZ]

she sure was

[Bruce]

Coil? Wrong plug range?

[royce]

my next guess was gunna be secondry diaphram dodgy or the vac hose to it but the fact it only does it now and then sorta sounds loose wire / arcing form humidity

[oi_dan_suzi]

G'day

For a while there every time i turned me vit off about 5 mins later fuel kept pooring into carby. This resulted in the car flooding and not starting. The problem: there is an electric solenoid on the carby and if that gets too wet can fuck up. I cut the wires and disconnected mine and havent had a prob since. I also undid the screws and oulled it off and spraying inside with wd 40.

cheers

yer check that solenoid bud. on the right hand side front of the carby there is a little solenoid undo the 3 screws and just have it disconnected for a bit then see if the same prob happens. If there is a big vaccum leak on that solenoid it can cause the car to loose power when reving.

[The_GRIZZ]

Thanks for that idea oi_dan_suzi. I'll 'ave a look on the weekend.

it's not doin it now so i'm not goin' to disturb it.

[steve]

see Zukchik, royce fixed it

[The_GRIZZ]

while i'm thinking of it how much do caby rebuild kits cost for this thing.

[The_GRIZZ]

i'd say the problem is fixed. the four carby bolts were lose and one was a good two turns lose.
so it was most likely sucking air in when it'd go over bumps

Cheers and thanks for the help

[Bruce]

Thats what we are here for mate.

[The_GRIZZ]

It is happening again and now really bad

bloody thing out of no were will just lose power and then take off again happens about 2000-3000rpm.
like it gets an air bubble or something and it is REALLY P!$$!%G ME OFF.

help again
Thanks
The_GRIZZ


Ohhh yeah... carby isn't lose either.

[the_orb]

mmmmm, I had this in the sierra, have you had the carby rebuilt, my new one goes on on thurs Ill let ya know if that fixes it

[The_GRIZZ]

na hasn't been rebuilt.

and she blows a bit of smoke when it starts and wont idle for a couple of seconds then the smoke disappears and it idles fine. does the smoke mean there is something not quite right?
