Hey Everyone

Post by hetfield_86 »

Hey just wondering if anyone can help me. My Mav when i first start it up is a bit sluggish and often will stall when im starting out and will jump quite a lot when I change to 3rd. I don't really know how to describe it but its starting to shit me, its fine once its been going for a little while. The revs will sort of cut out... I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem and knew how to fix it before I take it to someone to look at it.

Hehe hopefully you can understand me.

sluggish

could be anything. try looking for a missfire or a vacuum leak. could even be a fuel blockage in the carby, or is it diesel?

What a gay comment. So sorry that America owns "Hey" so I suppose I should have said G'Day mates or something like that...hmm?

Just a tune up on the electrical side should do it, points (if it has them- to save someone telling me it doesnt :roll: ) distributer cap and rotor also spark plugs. Some engines dont like to run on unleaded it is a poor cold start fuel if there is some electrical resistance somewhere a cold start can be a bugger!
I suspect it may disappear vastly after that. Anyway if it doesn't you will have some 'still good' parts to use later so no financial loss long term.

PS If it were me I would clean every single high tension contact and points (with a file/sandparper) and dist cap contacts and the rotor clean of any elect corrosion with sandpaper and a screwdriver as a scraper. If it behaves better after doing them all at once then I would consider buying new ones.

cheers fnq
