Picked up my new zook yesterday. Drove to the liscencing centre to go sort out the transfer, and on my way back, it started flat spotting, and died. I had to walk around shops asking if I could use their phone (Can't believe some said no) then had to get the old boy to come tow me back. It'll start, but only revs while you're pumping the pedal, as soon as you stop pumping it, it dies. I'm guessing its a fuel pump or vacuum problem... I dunno. Either way, I'm not bloody happy. Anyone else had a similar prob before?
Have to go get a zook manual I spose... already Think a holley or weber carb could be on the cards, the amount of hoses and shit going into that stock one is ridiculous, so complicated

sounds like a blocked carby, pop the lid on the carby, hold a rag on the top of it to block it up, and rev the crap out of it while lifting the rag up and down, should clear it out..

"apparantly" the carb is recently reconned, looks like it. It's pretty clean, the gaskets sticking out look new.
I dunno, I gtg to work now and I haven't had a chance to look at it. I just bought the thing so I got caught out without even a pair of pliers on me! I couldn't even get the hat off to look down the throat of the carb
go the weber. if its ya everyday drive and is only a weekend 4x4 like mine ya wont be disapointed. im still in the proces of getting mine set up corectly (was reco'd last week but tax man shut the shop down and hasnt been jetted properly). even as it is its heaps better than the stock carb for power and economy. will do a full post when i get it sorted with full jetting details and stuff

i had the same sort of problem with my old zook and what it turned out to be was the butterfly pin had worn where it went into the carby . All i did was get where the pin sit machined out and a bush put into it

Mine behaved the same way and it turned out to be the timing belt had slipped a tooth
I had a similar issue on mine .. if it has been recently rebuilt and if silicone had been used in the rebuild check that the jets have not been blocked by a piece of erant sillicone that has broken off ..
mine was runnig on the fuel that it was sucking through the choke circut .. .

i had that problem once up in kalbarrri. thought i was gonna be stuck in the middle of no-where. had some crap in the main jet. had to unscrew i think it was the left of the 2 bolts at the front of the carby (standing in front of the radiator). left is main, right is secondary main. its hard to see, and get to, but that was the easy part. fuel goes everywhere at this point, having opened a hole in the float chamber. then u gotta get a medium thin flat head screwdriver and get in there to unscrew the jet. u just want to get it just loose at this point. had to then file down a welding rod to a point, so u can "tap" it into the back of the jet to unscrew and remove it. just put the point in the back of the jet (you might be able to see it) and give it a bit of a tap with something solid. this is the hard part. u gotta make sure u really have the jet well before u go to remove it, beacuse its a right pain in the a** when it comes off the rod. clean whatever crap was in it out, and re-assemble. worked a treat. many thanks to allwest carbys for that bit of help over the phone.
