  1. Cool, cleaned up the piston from the old carb and swapped into the current carb and its like night and day, feels so much more grunty and revs out nicely.

     

    can actually see on the old piston where it has been sticking, will probably strip the carb down and give it a decent clean over the weekend.

     

    Only issue that it has now is if you rev it and then let off the accelerator it drops smoothly to 2000 rpm then hesitates there for a second before dropping to idle, not a big deal though. can drive it tomorrow.

     

    Also, the stupid screws that hold the top cover on are made of the softest metal, had to take the vice grips to a couple

  2. Comparing the original to the current one it definitely seems like the piston is sticking. Moves sort of freely but has way more resistance to it. May chuck the original back on and see how that goes

  3. Having issues with the carb on my car and these things are black magic to me. 

     

    Issue is it will start and idle fine and drive fine for a while then will randomly stop revving over 3000rpm and if I take foot off gas revs will crash and stall. Getting under the bonnet and moving the accelerator from that end then restarting the car seems to sort it for a while.

     

    Just started happening again and decided to have a look, when revving it the piston inside doesnt move at all and the revs barely climb at all, If I lift the piston as I twist the throttle then it revs out perfectly and seems fine. 

     

    The carb on it is a replacement as the original one was doing the exact same thing so I replaced it. The current carb has been fine for about 4 or 5 months and has started doing this in the last week or so

     

    Dashpot has oil in it

     

    Any Ideas?

  4. Also i'm pretty sure that if the dude was doing 100kph instead of the 104kph the ad shows the outcome would be 99.9% the same 

     

    I don't believe that 4kph difference would let him stop in time or dodge the guy

     

    Probably would have been better off to be doing 150kph and then he would have been past the intersection before mr irresponsible got there and pulled out blindly

  5. for a semioldschool car dont feel too bad in my volvo. would never be as good as a modern car with 74 airbags but has side intrusion bars, crumple zones etc so not too worried. They actually seem to come out relatively ok for an older car
