MK5 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 whats the problem m8,how is it running badly!!! virtually undriveable when cold. doesn't matter what i do with the choke (did a manual conversion to see if that helps, which it doesn't). no power, won't rev, can't even drive her at all til she's had several minutes to warm up once she's warm she drives quite nicely, but the minute i stop, she stalls. nearly every time should mention she's an auto

MK5 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 oops... Copey, can I ask what engine the Capri had, and what carb you've bought for it...?
Copey Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 2.0 pinto and it was gonna get a 38DGAS on it but now that will be goin on the 2.1 cossieglen is selling for the time being, may get a nice set of twin carbs for it at some point though
MK5 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 toying with the idea of a 38 DGAS for my car... depends on the cost really, and the increased fuel consumption...
Copey Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 toying with the idea of a 38 DGAS for my car... depends on the cost really, and the increased fuel consumption... i got mine on a pinto manifold and a K&N for £60, and the fuel you will only notice if you constantly floor it or go on the motorways a lot
MK5 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 and the fuel you will only notice if you constantly floor it or go on the motorways a lot thats me stuffed then
MK5 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 me? what do you mean by open the carb? its been rebuilt at some point...
Copey Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 and the fuel you will only notice if you constantly floor it or go on the motorways a lot thats me stuffed then haha, oh dear!!
dragaddict Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 maybe it has some dirt in the fuel jets m8
MK5 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 i would look but i'm a little worried about taking the carb apart as i've never done this before and the car is my daily driver...
dragaddict Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 in the sides of the carb there are two slow running jets opposit of each other,bebin with those m8
MK5 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 might have a look tomorrow - then i've got the whole weekend to sort out any problems i might get!!
geoffersmasher Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 wayne wigger off the site know his stuff about carbs hes on the site as w p e
MK5 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 just want to say that this car is my only car and daily driver, which is why i'm really reluctant to take the carb apart as i don't know what i'm doing
