1.2 keeps cutting out
Iv brought a 1.2 nova to get about in for the winter got it on the road yesterday and everytime I pull up at a junction it cuts out when it does manage to stay started it ticks over really lumpy iv changed the carb to one that I no works and still no difference any ideas ?
Fuel pump? checked power to the coil/dizzy etc? plugs? could be loads of things..
Didn't think they had fuel pumps ?
most important, is it a 1.2 carb, or a 1.2spi??
1.2 carb once its warm it does stay started better but still cuts out and it idles like its cammed
If in doubt, buy my full 1.2 carb engine and gearbox for £30 if you like as I need rid of it :D 52K miles on it and not a single problem with it either :D
Iv got one mate in my shed I took out my saloon just carnt be bothered to change it
awww damn haha, I have next to no room at the minute in the garage so don't really want to take it out my nova until I have a buyer for it
right 1.2 carb... there might be some muck in the carb. ther fuel pump might be about knackered.. the dizzy advance retard mechanism can fail, so the timing is retarded, and it will stall.. the coils are known to go. there could be a fault with the chassis earth strap, the plugs might need swapping.
basically, you have to check everything.
hint. you check the dizzy by pulling the small vacuum hose off at the carb end while its running & suck like hell on it. if the engine note changes, its fine, if it doesn't, the the diaphragm is holed & won't be working. you can get new ones
Thanks mowgli is the fuel pump bolted next to the cambelt casing and does it run off the cam ? And I tried putting the hole distrubuter set up off my other 1.2 engine on that I no works fine and it dosent seem to fit where it slots onto the end of the cam any ideas the one that's on it seem to rattle aswell
