my 1.4 SR has a loss of power and stalls at junctions, i origionally changed the dizzy cap and rotor arm and it solved the problem for about a month, then it started again, the rotor arm was changed because it was broken inside, now its having the same problem again, im guessing there is something wrong with the distributor itself. :? :?:

hrm check the rotor - if its damaged again then prolly summat else wrong

if u cant see anything wrong with it - it could be the carb's auto choke as i know the 2b3's can be buggers for dodgy autochokes - not too sure what it can cause but im sure it sticks open and then closes quickly

so i'd assume your overfuelling if its stuck open causing a loss in power ?!? and it will stall when it shuts too quickly causing the junction issues

just a guess so someone else can confirm on this
