I have given up trying to fix the current carb on the 340, it really doesnt want to work properly.

So has anyone got a cheap 1.4 carb which works? preferably localish?

Cheers Dan

Nobody got any lying about? Failing that does anyone know a good place to get the refurb kits for the 32 dir carb??

Cheers Dan

Is that carb still givibg you grief Dan? What isnt it doing? What cant you set etc? Webcon were doing gasket kits. Or maybe Euro car parts.

Hey Adam

Its really weird, it started at what i thought was vacuum leak, rpm wouldnt hold and car stopped at lights, so i replaced gaskets and rpm would hold but constantly change where it sat, sometimes 1000 rpm sometimes 2000 rpm and then sometimes it would barely idle at all.

Now its started to not let me drive flat out, when ever i pull away and go passed 3500rpm it suddenly loses power and the car sounds really weird then when you change gear it goes away until you floor it again in the new gear. The idle now sometimes idles fine and sometimes idle high/low or like up and down like a vacuum leak.

Got any ideas?

Cheers Dan

Dan have you checked all the jets and emulsion tubes for gunge? Sounds to me like something's got partially blocked.

Hi mate.
Get a copy of Practical Classics magazine. I n it you will find lots of adverts that can either fix or replace
your carb.
Cheers Mark.

Well i have some free time tomorrow so i will have a little poke around for gunge on the jets and emulsion tubes.

Just one question though, What are the emulsion tubes?

Cheers Dan

im with stoopid.
and would also like to find out.

they're the long tubes that sit underneath the air jets.

Cool, i will check thoses out tomorrow. Is it possible that gunk would form from being revved hard as the problems have accured straight after the track action at rr so im wondering if i may have over revved her a bit too much

Cheers Dan
