Exhaust popping on over-run...

[X-pack-Glyn]

not a problem as such, sounds quite good really, but its only done it since fitting the forties. its running spot on, plenty power and all.

 

got a bit of oil blown out the filler cap last night too

[Tom]

just fuel burning in the pipe mate, maybe a little rich?

[Fiesta Steve]

I'd say you possibly have an air leak.

 

Did you use new misab plates on the carbs

[BaileyMex]

I remember when I had my old Forest Arch'd MK2 1600 Sport and that was runnin so bad once upon slowing down for traffic lights etc

 

Po..po.p..pop..pop..pop..po.p....BANG ! as a big flame shot out of the back of the exhaust LOL sounded the nuts tho

[topi]

It's the best bit! Hehe.

[Guest pooface]

Same here the lil fiesta used to always stick flames out the back on the over run

[deluxe]

mine is like that as well. heard all carb engines are like that but the pops are louder with a big exhaust

[X-pack-Glyn]

well, im going to leave it as is, it goes well, ticks over suprisingly well considering the engine spec , if i give it a rev afetr ticking over a while it sounds ace, with the way it is it sounds like a real naughty pinto when coming off the gas.

also removed the viscous cooling fan today, defo spins up nicer now without that nasty whooshing sound...

gona have the head off in the week and do stem seals at least and maybe a bit of flow work to the ports as i have nothing better to do really.

[bashmk1]

have you got an electric fan?

[sambo]

Lucky u didnt send 'em 6ft under ground

 

1 of my old mk2's on twin 40's did that alot too, multi story carparks are best...........

 

Listen to them car alarms going off

[john_3.0s]

could be timing slightly retared so gasses are being ignited late and remain burining when exhaust valves are open, sounds ace but may burn out your exhaust valve seats in time. More likely just over fueling on overrun as every twin webbered escorts i have owned have done
