Ok,
I checked it today, and it was the connection itself on the water reservoir-tank that was plugged.

Works great now

Thanks for the info!

hah, I actually replaced the water reservoir..... because there was a leak in the original one. I got another one from a 1.4l I think.

There were those plastic extensions, which I cut of......but, I haven't checked the connection itself. I'll do that later today.....might be interesting

Hi.

I seem to remember that there was a steady flow of coolant fuild comming from the engine-area via one/two small hoses to the water-tank.
One of the hoses is used to cool/heat the carburettor.

Recently, there have been no water circulating there on my 1.7l. Is it supposed to be?

I removed the carb again, and the base was bent. One millimeter at least.
So I used 240 grain sandpaper (finished with 400) and after a while I got the carb base pretty even :)
Also used gasket cement directly on the manifold to ensure no leakage there.

That helped! The car runs smooth now.

Thanks for all replies!

The car acceleration is good... No loss of power. I've noticed however, if I push the gas pedal fully, wait a second or so, take my foot of the pedal, and then instantly push it fully again. Then the car might stutter a bit before accelerating again. I guess this is normal?

The distributor was ...

My volvo 340 gl 1.7 is running unstable.

I took the carburetor apart, replaced gaskets. That did not help.
Don't think it is an air leak problem.

The rpm vary from 900 to 1200.... they are however quite stable for a few seconds...


The car is not good to drive on idle either.....for instance ...
