Mk1 clipper running rough

Hi guys new to all this i have a mk1 clipper on a 92 with a ex engine and a 2e carb auto choke changed the leads and plugs rota arm  and dizzy checked vac pipes  and carb settings  and  bottom mount  all ok timming seems ok and is sparking  but still missing on one cylinder a bit and when warm it want idle can anyone help or know anyone good to help in near Manchester or around northwest I am in the car trade my self and have taken it to a few garages I know but still not solved  thanks 

Hi welcome aboard,
There's a how to section on here that shows how to set up the pieburg 2e2 up properly well worth a read.

If it's not carbed related I'd look at dizzy cap and rotor arm. Sometimes the caps have a hairline crack in them.  Have you put new leads and dizzy on or checked rotor arm for wear?

Cheers

Ye New dizzy and new rotor arm has been put on will have. A look at the set up on the carb sure it ok cheers 

I have still had no luck yet and will be going away for winter soon thinking of give up on the original engine and putting in a abf 16v instead now my way around these better shame wanted to not go down that route coz the car is original and wanted to keep it that Way any thoughts 

Or should I aaa engine in it had a vr6 for a long time now and has never need anything apart from a service best engine I have ever had and i have had loads of car as I buy and sell cars to the trade for a living

Try to stick with the engine if at all possible for all the reasons I'm sure you're aware of being in the trade. 

Not sure if rubjonny has seen this but he might just haven't and idea or two!

Possible air leak .. have you tried squirting wd40 or something similar around the base of the carburettor to check for leaks, Is the rubber carb mount new? or just  looks ok? .. Have you done a compression test ? Pierburg carbs are notorious for causing issues maybe worth swapping for a known good one from someone? Nice looking car …I`d keep it standard

Carb mount is ok had the carb off and pipes are ok compression is good on all cylinders but cylinder 4 is the problem missing some Times checked the timing to just want idle now very well 

And then stalling I will upload a video on Wednesday if I can

I`m guessing you`ve taken the carb off and cleaned it thoroughly ? Blocked idle jet ? Idle adjusted? , Idle cut out valve ? just throwing some ideas at ya .. sounds like you may have 2 issues .. have you swapped plugs and leads over to see if the missing moves to another cylinder .. A duff lead or plug would cause the car to cut out at Idle

I put new leads plugs Rota arm and dizzy on but still same it just seems to on one cylinder 4 and its intermittent at missing not as bad when revs are over 2000 rpm but then cuts out I have a 2e carb with automatic choke thats why I don't really want to put another carb on it coz will have to put a manual choke on it and rather not 

Sticking valve

I thought it may be 
Will have a look on Wednesday was hoping it wasn't 

I sometimes have this problem if I don't let it warm up properly, last time I changed the fuel filter it cleared the problem for a bit but then it happened again recently,

I have got a weber carb with manual choke so I just pulled the choke out a tiny bit and it ran fine.

Could be a fuelling issue???

Mousey.

Looked at it this morning but seems to be a little bit better but still missing slightly Not stalling as much now does anybody know a good place to do the timing and check the cab settings cheers guys

Has anyone used Volksmaster Oldham or bury ? Think I'll get a new fuel filter and put it on this week but will take it somewhere I think still
