I've just replaced all the pipes on my k10's engine and came across a small brass capsule in the one which leads from the idle control solenoid or anti dieseling soleniod into the small vacuum unit on the carb is this capsule important or another bodge job? I can't find mention of it in the manual nor does it appear to do anything I'm guessing there's supposed to be a small hole in it to control air. I only ask as my K10 runs perfectly just when I hit the brakes or slow down at junctions/roundabouts/traffic lamps or even the 9pm speed check by the local police the engine cuts out unless i hit the accelerator just as I stop
For the life of me I cannot find the problem other than a total top rebuild including carb I'm stumpted: Timing is ok idling ok meter content ok clearance to spec carb clean pipes replaced idle solenoid clicking under test leads plugs rotor arm new air filter new all sensors replaced or to specs. I'm starting to think it's the idle control solenoid or anti dieseling solenoid faulty though even though it's passing the tests.
Any ideas if I can get the solenoid at a Lucas dealer or is it main dealer only? What's its cost
Thanks Charlotte
