Paul Hill Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Hi Guys As you might have seen my car as been at the body shop for about 5 weeks, they did start up about Three or four times but I think they let it run on the choke till warm. Now when I picked the car up it’s was really low on fuel so decided go and fill her up now as I pulled away it was popping and misfiring like a good un put the fuel and it seemed better so when I got home I checked and cleaned the plugs no 6 was wet. Took her out for an Italian tune up and it run better but a little hesitant, got back on the drive but will only tickover at 500 rpm . I put a new set of plugs in but it still the same. It was running well before it went in Edited January 20, 2020 by Paul Hill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk2 Chopper Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Are all the injector pipes pulsing? Maybe you need to bleed an injector or two? By the way the new paint looked good in the pictures you posted. Gareth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hill Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Yes Gareth injector pipes are fine. I did think it may be getting some air from somewhere. Re the paint the guy is very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 5 fan Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hi Paul, Assume you've checked timing and pulled off each plug lead, especially number 6 to check they are making a difference at tick over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I did think it may be getting some air from somewhere. Re the paint the guy is very good. If air was getting in I would think the tickover would be higher, or racier. However, to determine if air is getting in spray carb cleaner around the balance tubes and if the tickover increases then it is. Cheers, Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hill Posted January 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Thanks Andrew will try that Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 500 rpm seems a good tickover to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Hill Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Very simple fix but me being thick. It was the throttle bodies not in sync played about with the adjusters hey presto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
