Urgent help: Engine dies when stopping after long run

[pfield69]

Thanks Mark,
I striped carb down and full cleaned it. I have now changed both fuel filters and added a non return valve.
I think my fuel hose is too big from bulk head to card (I think its 1/4" when everyone sell 5mm and it feels to easy to put on), so I will be changing that today.

I now need a new carb gasket
I also need to know how to wire carbs (Pierburg) as the advice given on here doesn't corallate with what I have. I have 2 ignigtion powered wires and 2 thermal switched wires. Where do they go?

I have also replaced expansion tank and now can't get red water light to go out

I will see you at Brighton Breeze or somewhere along the M23

Get that fuel hose sorted to the correct spec!!! and use proper fuel hose clips..
Not just to prevent draining back but to prevent a leak and fire..
You are aware I hope.....?

the ignition powered wire is to the cut off solenoid on the carb
The temp controlled carb heater, manifold heater and choke heater run from No. 1 relay in the junction box.
This relay is triggered by the 2nd temp sensor on the thermostat housing [lilac and black]
I can put some better info up at home..

I have 2 ignition powered wire & 2 thermostat controlled wires.
I have (based on beetle) wired the ignition to cut off & choke bi metal controller. The termo controlled wires to the manifold heater & carb body heater.

It still works but is it right?

Yet another problem: I changed the expansion tank and cap and now I have a constant flashing light.
I don't believe it is the sender as shorting it out produces no improvement.
There is no real power at the sensor (5-2V?). The temp sender works fine.
Connection in the dash is also good (pin 6 wire buzzed to cap on rear of display).

AND STILL NOT GOT BRIGHTON YET
