Backfiring
AbyssDJ:
heheh... we've got 747 style raising undercarriage at the moment... or at least it sounds that way at about 30mph...... could be UJ's, could be bearings..... could be brakes binding............. could be anything :x
Yoshi:
Well done the plugs and leads today, and it made the problem less, need to find out now how to turn the mixture down, cos the old plugs had dry black stuff over them which according to the haynes manual means the mixture is too rich!
But we will get there in the end!
Yoshi:
Right, so now we have more issue, now it wont idle unless the choke is out fully and as i say its still running rich. Its got a zenith carb fitted and i dont know how to adjust this.
Its still misfiring, we cleaned out the air filter today and as said we have changed the leads and plugs, but i have no idea how to fix this, going to change the coil tomorrow, but is this going to help?
lrmike:
Starting to sound more like a sinking float, actually. If it is running very rich, poor at idle and takeoff, etc. and I believe you said the old plugs were black? If the float in the carb sinks, the mixture keeps getting richer and richer and you can't adjust it. I believe the Zenith also had a tendancy for the top of the bowl to warp causing it run poorly? - might be wrong on that one, been a long time since I muddled with one.
Nick Bradshaw:
Has your points plate slipped? Try advancing the distributor on the knurled adjuster.
