My spider hates me

Post by swede »

Tomorrow is the Fiat club yearly meeting and it seems like my car knows that.
In the beginning of this week it started to idling and running poorly under 2000 rpm.

I have checked for leaks with propane, changed all distributer parts, spark wires, spark plugs, ignition coil, cleaning the whole carburetor, changed acceleration membrane and it’s still runs poorly.

Please any ideas will help I have run out of options. :cry:

determine if one cylinder is causing the trouble, or if all cylinders are affected. If it's a single cylinder, check compression

I have checked all wires with the strobe light and all seems to be very strong, compression and valve clerance will be the next task for me but not until monday.
Have to take my Kia to the meeting today and that sucks :cry:

Thanks for the input Mark.

After hours of checking and cleaning it finally runs good again.
I had to clean the carb again, there was some crap in the low idle line that was moving around but it´s gone now. :lol:

Embarrassed that I didn’t found it the first time :oops: :oops:

I gave my spider some loving and sweet talk so we are best buddies again :mrgreen: , hope it stays like that so I can attend to the next two big classic car meetings (23.08.2009 and 29.08.2009). Guessing it will give me some really nice pictures to upload here.

The second meeting (29.08.2009) is a relly good one where there is a lot of mint contition classic cars, you can find some more information and pics here http://translate.google.se/translate?pr ... ry_state0=
