mjjf Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I just put new points, plugs, leads, condesor, coil and cap into the 2.25 petrol. I also set the timing and adjusted the tappet clearance. It was running like a swiss watch for a couple of hours untill I started giving it a bit of a hard time then the idle was erratic and would stall if I tried to rev it. It would run with the choke on and I limped home that way. Do i have an electrical problem or fuel problem? If it is an electrical problem why would it run with the choke on?

Les Henson Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 This sounds like the Zenith warped carb problem to me. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Simpkins Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 This sounds like the Zenith warped carb problem to me.Les. Having suffered from the Zenith warped carb problem myself, I'd tend to agree with Les. Is there a tech thread on this forum for fixing this?, or is it still on the old forum?

rtbarton Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Could be dirt - I had the same problem, drove home on the choke and cleared the carb by removing the hose to the air cleaner, setting a very fast idle and momentarily blocked the air inlet with a gloved hand. Use a leather glove - don't want a ball of wool wrapped round your pistons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
