1.8 carb clipper cutting out going up hill

Post

Back to the top
help needed to solve I have had the carb refurbed, the fuel tank sorted and the exhaust checked and it still cuts out going up hill. Have been told it may be the accumilator??????? think thats the thing with lots of fuel pipes coming out of it attatched to the block. Want to go to the AGM on Saturday so any help will be great

Cheers

check the flange under the weber adaptor, they can split.

if you suspect the reservoir remove it, cap off the fuel return and put the feed direct to the front of the carb
