Carb Spitback

[MK2Ed]

What are the causes behind carb spitback...?

 

Also what are the remedies...?

 

[Guest MK1gaz]

Cam timing , H.T. leads on the wrong way round , ignition timing + carbs set up/jetted wrong etc I had 2 foot flames comming out of mine when the cam timing was out so beware !!!!!!!!

mixture too weak, richen up,

ign timing out, adjust with light ,

cam timing out ( inlet valves open too long ) adjust

or "your car's a bastard and doesn't like starting on cold mornings"

Yep, mine does it on cold morning too. But after a few minutes its ok but my carb is overfuelling at low revs.

i always thought it was quite normal on cold mornings when very first started??

mine spit and fart all the time was told its the carbs to tight on manifold but quite like the sound of it as every body looks at the car when it passes
