CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE......it seems to be a carbie issue. (fixed now. it wasnt carbie after all lol)
the other day i was driving home and all of a sudden my baja (1600 SP w/ 30 pict 2 carb) started coughing a spluttering and wouldnt run
properly......i pulled over and the car promptly stalled when i took my foot off the accelerator. I checked the leads and obvious things. i could
start the car but then if i tried to take off it would do it again......i limped the car to the end of my road (about 500metres away) and walked the
rest of the way home. i then came back later and it was still doing it so i called the guy up the road from me whos got a couple of buggies and a
eureka and now a sabre. and when he came down it started and stopped doing it but was still running a little rough. i drove it home figureing there
was some crap coming through the fuel filter and had got wedged in a jet. so i bought a new fuel filter and whacked that on and put new line from the
tunnel to the fuel filter and from the filter to the fuel pump......there was already new line form the pump to the carb but i flushed it. then i
drained the carbie bowl and started the car and it would run but pretty rough....but run all the same. so after work today (ive been driving dads
subie) i pulled the carbie off and took the jets out and blew them out with a compressor blew out and fuel passages with the compressor and cleaned
any muck out of the carbie bowl, checked the gasgets and then put it all back together and back on the car and started the thing and now its doing
the same thing it did on the way home.....coughing and spluttering and it will die unless i keep tapping the accelerator. WHATS WRONG WITH
IT?.......surely this is a fuel issue? im going to go see Vince ( the buggie guy) tomorrow and see if he can have a look at it cause its got me
stumped. i need this car because its my daily driver (my only registered car) i cant keep driving dads car as it has a very illegally cracked
windscreen and well i want to drive my baja anyway!.
can anyone help me?
Nick

This is why I think its not a fuel problem..... If you have replaced the fuel lines, filter and the carb looks ok and its still doing it what make you
feel its still fuel... I would start looking at points, dist/cap or the capacitor.
At a guess I would say its the capacitor but I'm a long way away and can't see whats goin' on :thumb

Try changing the condensor on the dizzy (not too exy to replace) - I had similar symptoms on my 1200 a while back. Tried the same carb cleansing
rituals, leads, plugs, rotor button etc. - of course the condensor was the last thing I checked!
Not 100% sure this is the problem for you, but just another consideration.

To test the capacitor "condensor" take the cap off then turn the crank till the points open. take the wire that goes from the distributor to the
coil off. get a multi meter or a test light, if your using a m/meter put one end on the distributor wire and the other to gound and test for
resistance, or with a test light put one end on the wire and one on the + side of the coil (make sure the ignition is on) and the other on the
distributor wire if it lights up its stuffed. what your looking for is if it gounds with the points open...:thumb

Your carby manifold is leaking or cracked. It's happened to me twice. Just run it and push the carby to one side at a time to see if you can block
the leak temporarily. Even then if you can't see a difference, it's still probably the manifold or manifold gasket...
