Bistro Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Short and brief: replaces mini manifold with extractors and ground off inlet manifold (mini owners will relate). anyways there is an unberable squealing noise comeing from what my mate and i think is the carb area. solutions? it also happened to his bemma when he put his webers on... also it doesnt pull from below 3000rpm, and doesnt idle, just cuts out. havnt really looked to far into it yet but will in the weekend and any of you fullas have any info, esp on that bloody noise will be big ups to you. chur chur.

Draizuh Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 my guess is the intake gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemi Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 yea i agree i reckon it a vacuum leak if its squeling and wont idle ....check intake maifold , carby to manifold and and such ...if u have a vacuum gauge lying around use that if its below about 10 hgs (or whateva) u have some badass air leak ...i had the same prob turns out my intake gasket had been slightly creased ...

SYKOV6 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 having done the same conversion on a mini i would say youve ground thru the inlet manifold it prob has only a pin hole in it but enough to make it whistle and run lean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Dads Essex 6 was making a friggin annoying whistle noise and I got fed up and checked the whole thing, and found in the end that it was the Oil breather cap in the rocker cover - the mesh from inside it was gone and it was sucking through a hole...I was so happy I then thought wheres the mesh now!!!

Bistro Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 Cheers guys but its all fixed now, well ... sorta. the airleak was from the inletmanifold stud being rethreaded by incorrect nut and wouldnt tightn up, therefore leak. got that fixed, but the choke cable was fraied in the middle and broke... so it doesnt like the cold starts lol... not that wellington is cold or anything. it still bogs down under 3000rpm, but i think its to do with some wangass aftermarket ignition box for cng or something. everyone whos seen it doesnt know what the hell it does. ill get a pic and see what everyone think it could be. also, if your in wellington and see a brown 1275gt with a white drivers door cruising round, just holla out. oh, and escorts sitll for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
