    Hello Right i think i finally found the underlying cause of my issue. The replacement float valves were not the same. The new valves I fitted that came with the kit altered the fuel bowl level by approx 2mm. I refitted the old float valves. Idle is much better, but I'm stuck with a flat spot...

I loosened distributor and adjusted to see if i could get it closer and engine sounded better after a move in the slot. But to my horror I had turned it the other way. I increased the degree to approximately 15 °...

    Hello Has anyone experienced these issues before. Engine will idle nice, around 900 rpm. It will rev to 1500rpm but between 1500 and 2000 rpm it wants to die. Once above 2000 it will rev but won't hold the revs. I've took video. If someone has ever had these issues please get in touch. Thanks...

    Hello After a carb rebuild I am experiencing some issues. I can get engine to start and idle good. Upon accelerating the engine will die around 1500 rpm. I can get it past this point by pumping the throttle but it will not hold the high rpm. It will eventually drop the high rpm and die. I've...

    Hello Thank you for your reply. So I'm guessing trying to charge a Dc battery with Ac isnt a good thing. I will trace wires back from stator to see what I find. Thanks Again. David
