Hi....
My wonderful traveller has just started exhibiting the classic signs of an over-rich mixture. IE: car dieing when the throttle is used. Under normal circumstances I've have re-adjusted it but it happend when I was at the in-laws yesterday evening, only there for a few hours, drove there ok but didn't want to come home. Can a carb suddenly start getting rich to this extent without anyone playing with the adjustments?
I've cleaned everything up, plugs, points, jet, dizzy cap, etc. Even fitted the 'spare' fuel pump, my poor sallon , all to no avail. Having had nothing but greif whenever I've tried to adjust a carb before, I come before you to ask if there is any other thing that could have happened that would present itself in this way? If not I will have to play with the mixture but wanted to cover bases first.
Thanks guys.
