I bought a DF engine off facebook as a good runner ha ha and she does run ,
however when the engine gets warm needle just below the first line on the coolant gauge she cuts out instantly (a bit like christine when they are making out
) it feels electrical as its instant but she will restart and run with throttle but lumpy and will not tick over without stalling !now i have replaced the dizzy ,cap,leads coil. pull down unit as it was u/s fuel solenoid fuel pump push rod tci unit coolant temp switch a small solenoid on the front of the carb ( i have a spare 2e2 carb )etc
the co is set correctly (help from mot man ) and the timing is set correctly 5deg atdc hose on
last week i flushed the cooling system as it was full of brown crud got loads out then started her up only to find water coming out of the exhaust !!!
so stripped heads replaced barrel seals and water jacket seals they were in a dreadful state i assumed as the thermostat opened it was flooding the cylinders and causing the cutting out) replaced it all and started her up today same issues minus head gasket leaks .
now she runs great at 5 degrees after up until shes warm then cuts out and then runs all lumpy but only after so what have i missed it must be something simple any ideas please ps dont tell elvis chapman or large
thanks for any help cheers dan
