Slow 1.4SR

[hendrix]

Hi all
Finsished puttin nova~lollys SR back together and finally got it started lastnite. Took it for a drive today but it seems to be really slow when i floor it, not as quick as it used to be anyway. I had to change the head as the other one was knackered but the only thing i have changed was taking a K and N off and putting an airbox on instead.
Any ideas what could be making it slower??
Cheers

hi. i had a similar prob with my mk2 astra a few years back. after loads of headache i stripped an rebuilt the carb, it was filthy. btw, did u check the piston rings wen u changed the head? steve.

as said before check timing belt on my old sr the timing belt was retarded a tooth an ran like a 1.1!
soon as i had sorted it and ran perfectly after that!

[hendrix]

should i use a timing light to check the timing then?? sorry but im so not sure about these things. If anyone wants to look then i will be in it at the MK meet.
Also its been idling really low today. Possibly i need to move the dizzy a bit.
Cheers guys

timing out and/or carb filthy

my SR did the same, No 3 piston rings were shot, head gasket and No3 spark plug melted, resulting in a blown engine :|
