Well I won't let anyone near my fuel tank again... Standing for 3 hours in -15 degrease draining the tank wasn't fun. I don't think I will reuse the fuel because it's to cold, I would and up with my spark plugs fouled maybe in warmer weather at summer or I'll just give it to one of my friend who own...

I'm back with the problem solved :D (Well I hope it is.) That little 2.0 l Volvo engine is a fighter! We emptied the tank, drained almost all of the fuel out trough the front from the line which goes in the engine bay. It was a slow process because we didn't have a pump so we had to let it flow out ...

Hi everybody! I'll shortly explain what happened. Yesterday just before new year I went to the petrol station to get some gasoline because I was low on fuel and I was heading out of town to a new years eve party. I stopped at the station and sometimes there are personnel from the station who fill up...

Thanks for the info, now I'll have to find me one of those too

Hatch and saloon are all the same, i should have a handle here if you need one still? Adam Thanks for the info! Well I would be interested the only problem is that England is quite far from here...and postal costs are high. So I'll be looking for something a little closer to home. There are a few 3...

This is the part I'm talking about:




As you can see on the last picture, on the bottom there is a copper peace which hold something, and that part should be longer.

Hi everybody! I have a little quick question. Are the back door handles (exterior - chromed handle with black plastic and lock/unlock mechanism) the same for the 4 door hatchback and sedan? I'm asking because my left door handle at the back door is broken, a little part of it broke of inside, someth...

So any ideas on the mechanical pump being the culprit here? The engine is running really good now, haven't had any problems with the spark plugs but my consumption is horrible...given the leak because the engine isn't drinking more than it should. I mean the engine might be drinking it only in the w...

Wow! Really? Petrol can be getting in from the fuel pump? Because the fuel pump has just been recently taken of and put back. But the pump is working great. I know where the pump is. And it has a little lever which goes into the engine block which operates it, so you are saying that petrol could be ...

:( Well it seams I'm out of luck... I noticed before that I was losing a little oil at the front of the engine but now when I went to the garage we where checking out the back end of the car, the lines from underneath and there was no leak anywhere near the tank or along the lines but there was a lo...

Ah, ok :D Thanks for that! So that is the only way I can get to them. Good to know. Hope it isn't to hard to reach the lines and check them. You said something about the return line being thinner, do you know by any chance what size it is? (in metric - or imperial only than I'll have to convert it :...

under the rear set there should be a round plate, remove it and take out the floater (turn left a little bit untill it pops loose) i bet its the thinner return fuel line that leaks. same story in enginebay 10 to 100km; ok either you have a reasonable heavy foot or the carb and engine needs a servic...

Well the theory that I had is that when the engine block is at about -10 degrees Celsius and the fuel entered it being at an even lower temperature -11-12 C on the start up, when the engine first cranked over (lets say the car was left over the night and you start it up in the morning in about -15 C...

well i'm sory mate but with plugs that are that wet overfuelling cannot be solved simply by adjusting your mixture, that's just covering up some symptomes. keep an eye on your fuel consumption, i bet it is way too high atm!! it's a sisac solex so could also be a leaking float. b200k 360's should be...

As said before, if the carb adjustment dosen't work , then it must be the ignition. The Black substance on the spark plugs is the result of unburned fuel.Unburned fuel happens in two cases(usualy it's a combinations of the 2 factors): either the fuel mixture is to rich , or the spark is to weak to ...
