nova cuts out when going up hill can any one help

[djdommyp]

my nova is fine on flat but when i go up quite steep hills cuts out some times or when on motor way , (i do have a full tank of petrol ) but it seems like it is run out , because it splutters then the dash lights come on

can any one help

blocked fuel pipe?

[ade]

odd how its only up hill - suggests the fuels running away from the engine back down the pipe?

Fuel pump problem?

[djdommyp]

i have changed my fuel pump and it only does it randomly

[SuperNova!]

what engine?

[djdommyp]

1.2 merit carb

Maybe the carb needs a good clean, check the fuel pipes arnt kinked

could be the end float in your carb (sticky valve), my mates 1.2 had the same problem only died up hill. gave his carb a good rebuild and clean and it was fine.

would be end float as said, also, a hamfisted ammateur may have had carb apart, and snapped one of the bottoms of the jets, and maybe up hill or with quick acceleration the fuel moves to the back of the carb and jet cannot suck fuel, or it moves to the back cutting off the end float too soon!
