joff123 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 hi to anyone who can help me sort my single webber carb out on my 1986 dreg xr2, first off its hard to start in the morning as the auto choke is sticking (i think). when i get it to normal temprature it runs at about 2000 revs ive had the timing setup and thats perfect, also had the dizzy set too, and now its running at about 1500 revs still high i know but dont know why?? its running rich tried to adjust the mix but it doesnt do anything at all?? then after all that when i turn the car off it is over running for a second or two?? so any help on this subject will be greatly appreciated, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr-performance Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi mate, been a long time since i did any work on older engines..:) if engine is running on for a few sec's after being turned off, then it's likely to be pre-ignition, usually down to carbon build up in cylinder head, needs taking off and de-coking as we used to call it.. Just a build up of carbon soot in head and intakes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
