Check the choke settings bud, it is different to the original solex (cable pull) mine runs rough as a bears arse of the choke is a little funny. fiddle the jetting too, is fuel getting through?? if u had air in the lines it may take a while to get the vaccum back, ie all the air out :wink:  if it is it will be down to fuel/air mix, take off the filter and pour some petrol down the carb too (gradually) might not be enough fuel.

just have a mess, oh and use the factory settings as ur starting point, should run on this, then fine tune from there :wink:

theyre great when their going  :mrgreen:  got one on mine, i didnt originaly fit it but i did remove, strip and clean it and it went back on sweet as a nut  is it new??? :?  if not it may need a clean, do the needles/jets.

spot on with a k&n too :wink:  :mrgreen:

none of that worked so i hve to send it back, mechanic said its faulty…got my solex back on, but yesterday my car broke down twice, i think it overheated, the temp gauge went all the way to the top!!! jus wouldnt start, i had to fiddle with the needles a bit on the side of the road becuase i thought it was that, after that it started fine, but stil stopped on the way home….why is my car overheating in v hot weather…. oil was a little low i filled it up now and coolant is still top..the rad lid has brown muck on it, but only a little thanks for any help

If you are over heating back flush the rad and engine, fit a new thermostat, test the operation of the fan, refit with correct antifreeze, check the timing and do a compression test.

ok it wasnt overheating today, so im goign to blame the weather…but a new problem (actually the same as yday)

the car runs fine, but has to run with the choke, also, after the idle just goes all the way down and dies, if you press the accelerator too quick it hesitates then starts, it dies when you drive in second sometimes, and when you break hard (Take your foot off the accelorater) it dies….its obviously a carb tuning problem i tried to fix it but no avail…the carb has been cleaned recently and ground is in place everything is fine just the tuneing…. help PLEASE

I wont go into much detail for starters :mrgreen:  classic cure for this iv foung with all mine is new;

rotor arm
ignition leads
plugs
and a bottle of redx

check the dizzy too :wink:

just the normal culprets for makin the car run crap, apart from carboration, or a tired out engine :?
