Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??

Glad to hear the running has improved, When you say you found out you cannot move the distributor, what do you mean? Yours is stuck? Because you can advance and retard it. It it sounds rather like your timing does need adjustment. Coil wise, you should have a green wire on the negative to the conden...

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??

Luckily all the parts only fit one way round, the Emuulsion tubes become obvious once you see them.

Re: How can I improve my engine performance?

We would need to know a little more about it first. What heads, what crank throw, what bore, what carbs, what cam, what flywheel? A few basics. Find a rolling road and simply have the fundamentals checked and a power read out, then, if there are any issues they might be able to rejet, adjust carbs a...

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??

You're pretty close. But you change your current emultion tube with thr f6 tube, and the current air corrector jet with the 170. Sounds like you've got the right idea though. And yeah, it's not particularly hard to do, just a bit fiddly. Let's hope that company can help you out. We have a photo post...

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??

It's inside the carburettor. All of those parts are. I will find you a diagram later. I buy my parts from euro carb. But that probably isn't much use to you on the other side ise of the world.

The tube you describe is the balance pipe, for future reference :)

Re: Weber carbs on 1970 Fastback ??

Its a real easy fix, take all the jets and emultion tubes out and throw them in the bin. They are desgined for a beford CF van. Replace them with the following. It isnt the "right" answer. But it gets you somewhere close. You may need slighly bigger or small jets from these sizes. Depending on many ...

Re: Anyone know the whereabouts of KPA 227K Variant?

I was alluding to the fact that it got burnt out in the film, having seen that page too! Might be worth tracking down Dave mcdonald to see if He knows of it?

Re: Anyone know the whereabouts of KPA 227K Variant?

It looks like it was last taxted in 2002, then changed owners in 2003 Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 18 February 2003

Ive done a bit of googling, I assume you have too, found people talking about it on a film forum.

The reg rings a bell to me, but I cant think why.

Re: Any suggestions to what's causing a bad misfire?

Does it need someone else to work on the car? If youve got it running ok, new bellows and proper clips. As long as you didnt over heat it, it will be as good as before!

Re: Any suggestions to what's causing a bad misfire?

How on earth did it do that!? Did you forget to put the clips on? hopefully it hasnt over heat the engine, as it sounds like you had actually got to the route of the problem in your previous post.

You will probably find the fronts rub at full lock, and the rear will touch the wings over bumps, depending on how low you go.

Re: Solex 32 Carburettor Gaskets

I would assume a gasket either side, doesnt make any sense to fit oneside and not the other. But the information is missing from the IPC.

And as I say I prefer the "paper" one to the metal one. Other people may have different opinons
