AdamP 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Found this weekend that when you stamp on the throttle the engine stutters, and if you hold it it will dies completely. If you put the choke on then this won't happen. It's running a Pipercross filter. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
t16ryan 1 Posted June 16, 2008 Clean out the emulsion tubes, usually gets blocked its comoon, take the filter off, look down the carb and will see to screw headed tubes, undo them, get a cocktail stick poke inside too lift them out, then clean them out with a airline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamP 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Thanks, will give it a try. I was guessing that it would be something to do with the second choke as it seems to be when that opens that it dies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cazzy93 0 Posted June 16, 2008 mines had the same problem it was that the car wasnt getting enouf air and dieing try it without the aifilter and see what happens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamP 0 Posted June 16, 2008 mines had the same problem it was that the car wasnt getting enouf air and dieing try it without the aifilter and see what happens I wondered whether it could be the opposite... ie running too lean because of the air filter (although it's had a bigger main jet), and the choke corrects it. Will do a bit of experimentation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdamP 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Ran both pipercross and K&N without the bigger jet and never had problems. Sounds like it's probably gunk in the carb then, not getting fuel through. Will take the emulsion tube out and give it a blast with the compressor. Needs some experimentation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdamP 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Better hurry Adam, Hillclimb is not far off is it? Rysz. Sunday... and i'm in school until 1pm saturday Could end up running it on one choke! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyszW 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Sunday... and i'm in school until 1pm saturday Could end up running it on one choke! If I could make it to Wales, I would come and see, but its a bit far for me... If push comes to shove, what about the spare carb from the XS? Rysz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Epynt is a bit out of the way for most people, just so happens that my dad grew up rallying around there Push comes to shove I'll have to try the other carb but I don't think it can be anything serious.

AdamP 0 Posted June 23, 2008 I took it all apart etc, cleaned everything, put it back together and it was still doing it :/ But then on the day it cleared up during the convoy run! So we're all sorted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
