Fuel Injection Help Fixed
Hi I have just installed an engine from a 68 type3 fuel injected into my 73 fastie. Went for a drive went alright then it started to run rought and
started to blow black smoke when at idle there is a huge cloud of black smoke and the car drives of running rough.
Sometimes it idles ok but wen you rev the motor it blows black smoke . then if you just bring the revs up a little the black smoke just pours out and
the engine runs rough.
I have unplugged te cold start injector and this made no change.
Can anyone help please as this is my daily driver
thanks heaps
marc

sounds like you have a vacuum leak. (Is the word "Vacuum" valid here?)
If it aint broke,
Make it go faster!!  |
