Turbo Mini Forums

Ok got it started, had to pull no3 of no5
to start it. the onley problem is its up and down on the revs , when i put no3 back on no5 it cuts out. If I leave it of no5 and put my finger on no3 the revs go throu the roof. Ive just about had enough of it can any one help or tell me were I could take it to to get it sorted the nearer to Blackpool the beter. Thanks Darren

If you pull No3 and No5 off do you mean you just pull off the pipe and leave it or do you block the No3 No5 holes? If you just pull the hose off and leave the pipes open then your sucking in air via No5 leaning things off and your fuel bowl won't be pressurised.

its a long shot, but you could check for air leaks in the gaskets aswell?

Thasnks Jay, so you dont have no3 and no5 joined together you just block them both of seperatley.

1/4mile in 13.2sec @ 111 terminal on 15psi

If thats the case it wont start with them joined together, it starts when I leave them both open and when I block no3 the revs pick up really high. thanks Darren

No 3 and No 5 should both be blocked off if their not joined to each other if that makes sense. Other than the high idle (what's the idle screw set at?), what's it like with No 3 and 5 both blocked off?

With no3 blocked of the reves pick up and if I block no5 of it stalls.

If you have not done so already, strip and clean the carb, making sure all is standard inside,no blockages or damaged parts.Re check your fuel pressure.Then block off 3,4 and 5 and get it running.My guess is that you have air leaks somewhere combined with high fuel pressure still.Have you also checked the manifold gasket ?.

Ok Ill have another go today it looks dry out side at the moment LOL, The carb is a reconditioned one. Ill have a go at cleaning it out to make sure thers no blockages . Ive checked for air locks on the manifold gasket and it looks to be ok. The fuel presure is ok at 4psi.
