tortron Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Maybe check the timing isn't too far advanced. Maybe check that the mechanical advance isn't stuck Vaccum leaks too maybe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it has not enough enrichment when its cold and to much fast idle . If they have an accerlator pump you should be able to start it with a handful of pumps on the throttle before you crank and it should fire almost right up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately no luck with pumping the gas pedal. But you're right that there's not enough enrichment. I'll keep looking and see what I can find.

cletus Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Brake bleeding. Daihatsu Mira, has a brake proportioning valve/splitter on the firewall. Had brake imbalance problem, replaced wheel cylinders , still had problem, got second hand proportioning valve which when you blow air through was more even in what was coming out the rear ports Fitted it, had a hard time bleeding it , now can't get any fluid to come out of the left rear ,pedal is good, not a blocked hose as I can crack a pipe at the hose or the valve and nothing comes out  It's almost like it has a safety thing where if something happens a valve shuts or something?  Any ideas or anyone had similar issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I can't comment on the issue with replacement unit. But can you pop the replaced one apart? I did that on a Toyota unit and it was easy to clean out, balance was perfect after and never had the problem again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 i dont think its meant to be serviceable, but there is 2 bungs which can be removed, and under those are 2 pistons with springs behind them, a circlip holds the piston in, which i couldnt get out of the non functioning one im not actually sure what it does, it appears to be a block to pair the LF and RR circuits together i think i might just delete it altogether and run front-rear split instead of diagonal and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Sounds similar to the one I did, piston could just be jammed with crud like mine was. It was sub 1mm ring of junk that once cleaned out was sweet. I'd give it another hoon at getting the piston out. Mine just had a really small ring of debris that was easy to remove. I put it down to infrequent fluid changes that over time just left a bit of shit behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 what's the best way of getting a 14v battery for cheap? I need 14v able to provide at least 40 amps for a minute or two. Basically I need a regular battery with an extra cell? We've just jumped off a running engine in the past but it's a bit of a pain in the ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nd Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Matter if it's a couple of volts more? 18V 2Ah, $59 https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/black-decker-2-0ah-lithium-battery-18-volt/p/269913  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 18v is probably a bit much... Surely pulling 40 amps from that would melt it into a puddle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortron Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Would a big old battery charger put that out. My one on wheels puts out a shit load of amps (cauge starts at about 20 and goes to 60) at about 14v 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibbon Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Another option would be running thirteen 14v 3a laptop chargers in parallel but I'd have to package it real nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
