Hiya!
I'm new round here so bear with me if I do something wrong :wink:
Ok. I'm 15 years old and I own a Vauxhall Nova 1.0 Overhead Valve Hatchback. My first ever car was a Cavalier SRi 2.0 which i bought when I was 11 and sold when a few months later when I was 12 for 125 quid profit :P
Anyway, It's a shame, but I'm actually going to be banger racing this Nova at Christmas, at Warton (Nr. Carnforth, Lancaster). I'm racing it in a Junior bangers event, 1.4 being the maximum engine size, so obviously, alot of em will leave me standing.
Anyway, I need a little help. My car is running rich. It stinks, and the plugs are all choked up. Also, it misses alot. Anyway, I've adjusted the tick over as it was running too slow, but I can't find the fuel mixture screw (it is a screw right?). Could anyone point me in the right direction? Not sure what kinda carb it is, just standard jobby I think.
Also, I'm going to adjust the tappets. Any ideas as to what size feeler guage I need to use?
That's pretty much all I can remember at the moment, hope you guys can help!
Thanks,
Ste-V.
