needed my co turned down for mot

friend brought his co machine round

warmed car up

when he put allen key in car stalled

started her back up but she wouldnt idel

now she wont start at all

any ideas please

 

Turn it back to where it was before? you did remember where it was dont you?

 

did it stall w/o turning the key?

 

no did not stall before

think it may be over fueling

 

by the sounds of it, no

 

You've obviously pushed the flap down when pushing the allen key, somewhat of an "art" adjusting the mixture on them. You've either......adjusted the allen key and its running too rich/lean whatever depending on which way u turned it, OR and more likely IMO, you've flooded it.........

 

When you adjust it again to sort the mixture for the mot, use blue tac around the allen key and turn it while the engines running and it won't stall, because there is no air leak from it

 

Thats on the assumption his metering head doesnt have the adjustment pole on it.

 

too techy man,does this pole refere to meterheads with orig airboxes then,pics please technical tom

 

You again

Earlier metering heads just had a screw to block the hole, so obviously while adjusting the mixture you introuce an air leak. Later ones have a spring loaded pole over it which means there is no air leak.

You won't know what one of these is akito akito-man because your car is an inferior E plate Plus your car has more air leaks than i care to mention

 

my cars a hovercraft i thought he said beachyhead!

 

Anyone else spot the deliberate mistake??
