I put a new carb on today and it takes a good while to start my car now. It was alright before i changed carbs (had to change them due to the other one been worn out), started first time every time, now i have to mess about with the choke, pump the pedal, and nearly drain the battery before it starts.
Also when i first press the accelerator (changing gears or just speeding up) nothing happens then it jerks and then goes alright. When setting off i have to manipulate the clutch and pedal a lot so it wont stall, but after its got going its great.
I have a straight through exhaust system on but i noticed its cracking and popping a lot more when i decellerate.
I changed the fuel pump and dizzy cap and rotor arm a couple of days ago whilst trying to determine what was wrong with my car.
I thought it might need new spark plugs and/or leads but these are quite new still and it started ok before i changed the carb. Also when i first changed the carb it took a very long time for petrol to pull through to the carb???
Anyone ever had anything similar or can tell whats wrong?/what needs adjusting?
