strewth fella thats some amount of pipe work and fittings there!
Is the pressure gague reading steady now?
Is the pressure gague reading steady now?
Haven't checked that to be honest
I know its no good... I need to tidy it all up. But there's no point if it doesn't run
Progress mate. It's still goodMech pump refitted with correct sized feed pipe. Still bogs down and dies
Now it absolutely has to be a carb issue
Touch the throttle lightly its ok. Too quick and it dies
Stfu then don't be motivatedNot really mate was doing this before
Fpr?So I can get it to start and run ok... now it just bogs down on throttle
We've all been there mate, take a break from it for a few daysIt wins
I officially give up
I'll be selling my JAE ticket
And the car itself will be stripped of luxuries and scrapped
You'll know if they're damaged because they sink when they are. It's possible the valve the float operates isn't closing properly, or the arm got knocked so the fuel is sitting too high/low. Is the needle seated correctly/Are the jets clear? Is there any perished seal floating in the dash pot bowl that can get sucked into the feed and block it? Are you using fresh fuel/filter? Have you adjusted the autochoke correctly?Right after telling little man to say bye to the micra and his response being no and running to get in it. I guess I'm being selfish giving up
So folks
Point 1 Part A
Vacuum leaks
@enuo those floats... is there a chance my pumps have damaged them? Or needing me to reset them?

Unsure will test once running. If it does runAlso double check the alternator is putting out 14.5v
I've read about the acceleration pump chucking a bit extra in to compensate for the extra air. Mine works really wellWhen you put foot down with a carb there is a delay between extra air flow and extra fueling arriving, if mixture is too lean extra air will cause it to bog down before fuelong can catch up so fueling never arrives, could be too lean now?
No idea?dont give in,,,,,,,,cause of you guys i can now remember my neighbour of ten years name guess what it is hehehe.
you cant miss jae.its the big one !
Might be too lean now with the lower fuel delivery if you changed carb settingsJets appeared clear
Nothing in dashpot apart from a small calcium film now clear.
Fuel and filters all new.
Autochoke I'm unsure off but it opens and closes as it should

Also read an Exhaust blockage can cause the stalling on hard throttle too?
The mech pump is reinstalled so its must be correct flow and pressure now?
my k11 fuel pump was dead/dying when i got this same acc pedal problem .k11 electric pump
So I'm definitely looking at a lean condition... but from the oe pump :/Might be too lean now with the lower fuel delivery if you changed carb settings
Unlikely though, but will run hot if lean.New coil fitted
Dya reckon the carb could be getting too warm itself?
I'll check the choke too
it will alter throttle response a bit eh andy, but only for a second or two@frank can timing cause a car to bog down when blipping a throttle?
Ah... response is ok its just bogs down if I was to keep my foot down it'd dieOriginally posted by quickdraw
---------------------------------
note** these stats are from peoples experiances with fitment and not my personnal knowledge..
**wheel nut spacing/PCD is 4 x 100mm
regarding fitting.:
13" fits fine without rubbing on most tyres
14" as above
15" will fit but requires 195/45/15 with a tyre width of 6/6.5" and opffset as close to standard as poss (30mm)..
offset/ET value = 38mm
(rear arches may also require rolling)
other cars that fit directly to the k10:
again this is others personnal statements and is to give a rough guestimate as to what in theory fit..
renault 5
toyota's (except carolla coupe)
mazda
honda (except LEGEND)
pulsar
with 100pcd dimensions
bmw
vw
rover (except 800 series)
deawoo
daihatsu
seat
ford
peugot
vauxhall
this list will not include the full range of each of these makes but comes with the same dimensions so in theory should fit
