idle problem!
Bobster:
Managed to get the Bobster running pritty sweet at last....the fuel mix was way off and the timing up the wall the last owner was a complete monkey by the looks of things.... fitted the electronic ignition and a new coil and he's purs like a kitten.........then dies!!!!! NOOOOOOOO its a real wierd one! it can run for a few mins then just dies and restarts instantly if you turn the key again... any ideas? its not the new ignition....I put the points and condenser back in and it did the same...lol
James.Harwood:
This sounds more like the carb, crap in the idle jet/ float chamber.
What carb are you running?
Miniman:
also sounds like you may have a dirty filter. If it don't get fuel it won't run.... Cheep enough to do change the filter if you have not. You may find rust in there. My landy was not even doing 40mph yesterday because of a dirty filter. Its now back on form....85mph and that is a 2.25 Diesel....90 diffs mate works a treat....
Could even be a blocked exhaust that has been found before. But before you pull the carb in bits get a new filter in it.
