Escort Mk3 Xr3
Hello,
My name is Srdjan and I am from Serbia.
I have Ford Escort mk3 with 1.6 CVH engine 66kW 90PS, it is running on weber 28/30 DFTM carb
Well, the car is in my family since 1994. My dad bought it from first owner.
I have 22 years and this is my first car
The Escort originaly was 1.1. Kent, two years ago i put 1.6 CVH inside
The car is in good condition, the engine is good, the body was painted two years ago. The big part of job i did myself.
Like the others old cars, this one also have some problems, well the two months ago i did take of the carb from the engine and take it to mehanic for rebuild. I had some problems with the cold star, if car stays two or three days, next morning the car cranking about 10-15 seconds before it starts. And that started to annoying me.
Well, before carb rebuild the car was going 190km/h, but after rebuild the car lose power on 160 km/h
The carb was cleaned, and the mehanic putted new seals and diaphragms
I changed the fuel pump, and the problem is still there. The Jets are on the same places like they were before rebuild. Air filter and fuel filter are new. The ignition is set correct.
On the low RPM the car is going really fast, better than before, but above 5000 rpm it start to shake, like there is no fuel. It open the second barrel on carb correctly and it fell on around 3000rpm, but after 5000 it lose power. Before rebuild it was going on 6500 without a problem
Do You have some ideas what is going wrong?
Thanks
And please sorry for my bad English
Cheers
