daveyc123 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Firstly I apologies for the not I was driving today and the revs dropped to zero and with a few pumps of the accelerator it goes back to where it was. it causes the car to lurch. I found a video on youtube that shows what is happening (obviously a different make and model) any ideas as to what would cause this?the car is a 1993 mazda b2200 running a carb Thanks David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 These had points and condensor right up until the early 2000s. Replace both of those. From memory the condensor is a cunt to buy but definitely do both. Never do just one. Also if you do the job yourself, be very certain about cleaning the anti corrosion coating off the contact tips of the points. The number of people who replace their own set of points and don't follow these 2 bits of advice, and have failures soon after, is many. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyc123 Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Replaced the points in December, didn't do the condenser as they didn't have one, will check and replace. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Do them both together. A poked condensor causes points to burn out so the new points have probably already been poked too. I think the only place to get the condensor from was genuine Ford parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
