Humble Pie

Post by project25 »

Hi, I put out a plea for help with my Pierberg carb the other day, problems with back fires and no tick over.
the replies where mostly about air leaks, but I could not work out why plugs were black etc, assumed it was over choked.
Bought £5 worth of replacement hoses today, mainly the large one on the manifold for servo and it bloody well works. Ive been trying everything else but that for like ever.
Now I can book it in for its first MOT for 7 years. Came onto my drive on a flat bed trailer and will be going out under its own steam. So thanks a lot for all your help, I must bow to your better knowledge.

It might be good if you finish the peirburg post with a conclusion, so when folks search they will see an answer to the issue

It's a marvelous place this, one day you'll see something here and without hesitation, you'll help another out.
That's how it works.
best of luck..
