was driving home the other day and as I was caning it over the harbour bridge, the engine started faltering, and missing when I had the throttle halfway. It was fine at idle - even when revving hard in neutral - but as soon as there was some load on the engine it ran rough as. It also seemed to go OK if the gas was pressed right to the floor..
So I got her home OK with some spluttering along the way, and had a look at the carbie:
is the bottom chamber on the picture the secondary? It was pretty filthy, so I sprayed some "start ya bastard" in it and revved the shit out of it in neutral.
Got back in the car, once it was in second, was the same story - spluttering her little heart out.. Although a couple of runs up and down the road at full throttle later - it cleared up and she was running like normal.
On closer inspection, this little doohickey in the carb was a bit loose and rattly. What is it?
I've got a weber 30DGS carb that i'm in the process of adapting to suit, so it's probably not worth taking this mikuni apart until that one's ready.
At any rate - the car's working fine again - so I'm happy!
