I have a vauxhall nova 1.4 carb and i replaced the carb on it becuase it was knackered, i bought a second hand carb and just replaced em ova myself.
It drove alright 4 the 1st journey but after that the engine decided to constantly misfire. I replaced sparkies, leads, dissy ect to no avail. I took it down to a trusted local mechanic and he did a compression test to find nothing was happening in number 3 cylinder. I had just had a new head gasket 1500 miles ago so i knew it wernt that but he said a full engine stripdown would be around 80 quid and that was dependant on what was wrong.
The cars only worth about 400 quid amd im not sure if its worth having done. If ne1 could let me know what the problem is most liekly to be and if its worth being fixed.
cheers
