Normal Running??

[1_eyed_jim]

Hi my first post on here and read lots of information on here and Wiki and i must say there is alot of support and fans of the T25! I myself have got the "bug" and have started a project on a neglected 1986 1.9 DG T25. I have just changed the fuel tank as the old one was knackered and fuel was sloshing out of the top grommets if i went over half a tank due to a broken 'T' piece. Anyway after much enjoyment of that job and successfully completed the job with some ptfe tape and electrians tape holding the 'T' piece together (as i couldn't get new). ANYWAY my question is...is it normal for the engine power to hesitate when you press the accelerator and even sometimes lose power for a second then take off? It's like turbo lag????

Sorry if i've bored some of you to tears! I could of made this post a lot shorter but thought i'd tell you some background first...

Thanks

Rob

Hiya, welcome to the forum

If the tank's been leaking cr@p can also get in, change the inline filter near the tank outlet and make sure there's no water in the system ... the filler neck rubber flange is a common fault.

The phrase 'Engine Power' is not normally used in conjunction with a T25 and may take some getting used to

Hesitation on hard acc may also be due to the acc pump diaphagm being split.
Four screws on the carb hold it in place

look down the venturi whilst operating the throttle (engine off), you should see a good spray of fuel from the excellerator pump nozel.
Your engine mixture changes depending on conditions, pulling away excellerating demands a richer mixture and so manufacturers typically fitted this extra device to fulfill that need.
Also
I have seen this type of symtom caused by a faulty vacuum advance unit (split diaphram)
