hi

my 1.6 cvh is running supper rich and im going to try and get it sorted this weekend but i am just trying to find out which way the mixture screw turns to make the car run a bit leaner? clockwise or anti clockwise? i can find all the othe information about it apart from this one little bit does anyone know???

 

1.6 CVH is a bit vague..

Is it carb, injection?

What car is it?

 

sorry its from my mk 3 escort and its on the carb. im never good with the details

 

Ah,the good old VV carb

Must be 20 yrs since I worked on one of those!

A Top cover
B Manual choke unit
C Lever housing
D Choke cable bracket
E Automatic choke unit
F Bi-metal housing
G Air control vacuum
diaphragm housing
H Air control diaphragm
J Accelerator pump

K Accelerator pump cover L Throttle linkage
M Mixture adjustment screw N Anti-run-on valve solenoid P Idle speed adjustment
screw
Q Fuel needle valve
R Float bracket

From vague memory should be anti clockwise to lean mixture.

Check the choke isn't stuck on, and check the throttle diagphragm.



If you take off the airfilter, the variable part of the venturi (hence VV) should have resistance on it when you slide it back, if not the rubber diagphragm can be split or gone all 'sticky'


Also worth checking the accelerator pump diagphragm is not split as well.
