Hi all,
I am writing to you today from a secure unit, the Wardens are very nice, they allowed me to write using a soft crayon.
OBVIOUSLY, the reason I am currently serving a long sentence for mass murder a spot of arson, pillage and plunder, is because I still have not sorted out my 'rich running' problem.
Despite compleatly rebuilding the carb using a repair kit (including new needle valve and seat), setting the float to the correct height, new coil, plugs, HT leads, set the timing and checking the points, its still blowing out black smoke and a strong petrol smell when cold mostly.
The situation has changed slightly since the above work though, it now seems to mostly only do this from cold and it seems to take a while for one or more cylnders to start firing, once these do fire, the problem seems to go away.
I checked the compression on each cylinder and they are all good with very little difference between them. All plugs are firing, at least to the plug top.
Assuming everything is good in the carb, electrical and compression department, what causes (presumably) some cylinders not to fire (due to flooding or other reason) and the excess or unburnt fuel to be exiting through the exhaust?
Thanks Guys, and chance of an Apple Pie and file?
