hi gents i,ve rebuilt my series petrol engine which ticks over nicely, and starts first time. but wont pick up or rev, i have changed carb and fuel pump distributer points condenser .could the problem be down to faulty coil or wrong coil as is not new . regards Brian
all conected all good also run from fuel can incase problem with tank items changed points dizzy and condenser carb and fuel pump and no difference ticks over and starts sweet only coil not changed came in box of bits , was 24 volt but been rewired complete by professonal to 12 volt
if its worse your carb is ****ing fuel in and wetting the plugs borderline flooding
the service manuals and maintenance guides will only ever tell you what the carb settings are from factory new and evry series engine has its own little niggles and preferences ( just dont believe any haynes or factory manuals ) tune it by ear
ive had this happen on the side of the motorway in a petrol landy before now the bugger did exactly this and the culprit was the mixture screw had worked its self way out with the vibrations of the engine it took me 2 hours ****ing abbout with it top get it running again and when it did taking no chances i put a dot of superglue on the screw to make it stay where it was
'24v' coils are really 10v, thet run on a 10v ignition system so if your coil is working properly it should'nt make any difference.
24v coils have a different coil to dizzy lead fixing as well.
noticed old points where melted and bit of smoke coming from new ones any thoughts checked timing again all good and is fual delivery coil is only odd part not new
dizzy points and condenser new plus also had 2 others fitted and tryed all the same had two carbs on and two fuel pumps fual pipes good starts first time choke makes no difference on start plugs are good just will not rev wants to cut out
was out driving for 4 hours before hand greenlaning then turned off started but then wont pull under load only revs standing goes to move off get a few feet thhen revs drop , new 12 volt coil points new and set dizzy new all been working perfect but not now
