Right my Dad spent quite some time dismantling my carburetter yesterday we checked the jets where all in the correct place which they were not (i had got both the idle and air correction jets mixed up so they were going into the wring barrels on the carburetter. Once we had done that my Dad set the float level to the books specification and put it all back together.He then timed it up for me as that had not been done since ive had it It was slightly retarded but all good now He then set the carburetter up using his guns tons color tester so we knew there was no problems there then.I then took it for a drive to test it out and i had a similar problem to before except it was dieing out alot sooner than before.So i brought it back home and as an experiment we set the float chamber to take in and be as full of petrol as possible. This has very almost cured the fault so i am now looking at the fuel pump being iffy or wrong for my car I looked on ebay at some fuel pumps and the one ive got is listed for 1600GT (only) and another auction there is a fuel pump listed for 1.3,1.6(no GT) so i am thinking it could be wrong for my car Also where can i post up some technical information about these carbs for other people to use? Cheers guys and i hope this experience i have had helps some of you to cure your faults that are similar

If i get to the bottom of it i will let you know mate

You are a legend mate Thanks so much for doing this for me I owe you one

I dont think it can be that as i am using the same filter i used when i was running the standard carb and it did'nt give any problems I am going to wait for blueplus2 rs to send me the blow up diagram of my particular carb and i am going to check everything is in the correct place and then set the float levels If that doesn't cure it then i will try changing the fuel pump back to my old one to see if that solves it Cheers for all of the help so far guys you's lot are great

I hope they do start re making them i might end up needing a drivers wing as i repaired it and the rusts coming back through the paint already

Deffo Black mate Yellow could be hard to see on sunny days

Probably to late but you have PM

That would be a great help mate Also you have PM!

Happy Birthday Mate

Right i done a test today to check for it is the fuel pump by getting to the stage where it dies and i let it die completely and cut straight away as soon as it did i switched the ignition to position 1 and dipped the clutch and pulled to the side of the road. I opened the bonnet and the fuel pump was full as was the fuel filter which is just before the carb and i could see in through the top of the float bowl that it had fuel in it So i am now totally baffled All that is now left really is the carburetter Is there any chance anyone can get or show me a blow up diagram of a twin choke weber 32DGV carb that shows you which jets go where just in case i have put them in the wrong places All i know is that there is only 2 jets thats i could have possibly got mixed up one being a 110 and one being a 160 could anyone possibly tell me whether the 160 should be for the barrel thats in use the most or for the second one? Any help would really be appeciated

BUMP!

The fuel pump was taken off of a 1600GT Crossflow Engine so could it be that the camshaft is not pushing the rod enough for the pump to work properly?

Both mate no mater what i do it still bogs out at 4000RPM

Thanks mate All i can say is around town its absolutely fine so its deffinitly a wierd one

Right got it all running now after totally dismantling the carb in the garage and cleaning every last jet etc and blowing the whole carb housing through with a blow jet on the compressor. Everything is fine except now i have a totally different fault which is when on the motorway in 4th or 3rd gear and trying to accelerate it wont go above 4000RPM without dieing and coming back it makes the car jugger backwards and forwards The only thing i am suspecting for this fault is the fuel pump as the arm on the new pump was abit different to my old one and someone said that could cause the fault???? Anyone know what it could be?

BUMP!

Thanks Guys

Hi The carb is a Twin Choke Weber 32 DGV and it was removed from a 1300GT MK1 Escort. My car is an 1100L MK1 Escort.

Does A MK2 Escort 1.3GL Have A Twin Choke Weber Carb As Standard?

In Answer to a few questions: Yes i have checked the float chamber and its all fine The fuel delivery is excellent. The breather pipe is connected to the crankcase breather and the end which goes to the servo which i dont have has been blanked off so no problems there. I am pretty sure that all of the jets went back in the correct order but i am wondering about that myself Has anyone got an exploded view of the Weber 32 DGV Twin Choke Weber that shows what jets go where? Thanks for all of the help so far guys

Just a quick one what carb does a 1.3GL MK2 Escort have fitted as standard? Cheers

I fitted a fuel pump which was fitted to 1300GT MK1 Escorts and also MK2 1600E Cortinas. Its one of the early types with the glass bowl on top it delivers the fuel at a higher pressure/rate to my standard one so i fitted it in conjunction with the Weber It delivers the fuel at 0.25-0.35. Not sure if thats the problem as my dad checked the fuel delivery and it was okay

Hi I have been very busy over the last 2 days fitting my new fuel pump and 32DGV Twin Choke Weber Carburetter (which i had already re kitted). When i finished fitting everything on yesterday i tried to start the car up and it did not go so i put it on charge over night and then tried it again today and it didn't go so i reconnected the battery charger whilst i took the top off of the carb and blew each jet and the hole each of them came from through with the blow jet connected to my compressor. I then tried it and it started almost straight away so i set the air/fuel mixture screw and idle speed and it sounded lovely. However when you try to rev it it will only get to 3000 rpm and then die out when you look down the carb the throttle pump jet that you can see putting out fuel stops putting fuel out at exactly the same time as it dies My Dad who's a mechanic learnt his stuff on oldskool fords has looked over it and so have i and neither of us can work out what is wrong Maybe someone on here is more knowledgeable than me and my Dad are on weber carbs and can possibly point me in the right direction to sort the problem out. If anyone can help me out i would really appreciate it as i will need the car up and running by Tuesday (25th) and i dont want to have to resort to putting the old carb back on Any help will be really appreciated Thanks Guys

But it says there was an option of a 3.77 diff when they were new so could it have one of them???

It is a 1972 1100L in the manual it says when they were new they were fitted with a 4.1 diff but there was an option for a 3.77 diff. Is there anyway of finding out which of the two i have? If someone could let me know that would be great
