4.2 Carby, Trouble starting cold

[justinshere]

Ok i finally got my wobble sorted, now i have a new problem...

Engine is the 4.2 carby GQ

I have a hell of a time starting the car when its cold. It'll turn over for ages n ages before it finally starts to run.

Idles about 200-400 RPM and very slowly builds up to normal idle, i mean over the matter of a few minutes.
If touch the accelerator at all it'll just cut out.

Now ive found out that it could be the solenoid in the carby thats shat itself or the actual mecanism the open n closes?

I sometime has a flat spot on takeoff if i punch it to take off. If the solenoid has died would this cause this problem to?
Or the carby may just need a flush out.

Any one else had a similar problem and how to fix it?

Cheers Justin

Check your accelerator pump is working.

i have the same problem on my dual fuel maverick, i pulled the head off the carby and doused the crap out of it with some carby cleaner, it seems to start , run and idle a hell of alot better now, but i might still strip it down n see what sort of an improvment that will make

l have just had my carby rebuilt and it fix the some problem and it runs like a dream

it only cost $50 bucks for the carbie kits on GQ through autobarn

[offroader-rama]

seems very common
cookie monsta how did it help with gas on your maverick because mine problem is the same on both fuels and I rebuilt the dizzy made no difference at all
does gas rely on the auto choke maybe its stuffed

Genuine nissan ones are only around $80 too

[offroader-rama]

is there anything tricky with the carby kits

[cooki_monsta]

um im sry my gas was already running good, just my petrol was fairly horrible, besides my idle that was always poor when it first started, now on either it seems alot cleaner (there was alot of gunk in my carby tho) and while im at it i might pop down to nissan and get a rebuild kit, if u have a nissan bible then they are a piece of piss to do.
