I have just rebuilt the motor in my '91' 1.3 Sierra (due to a cracked piston :bad-words: ) and rebuilt the carby as well as it was looking a little it sad :?
My problem I have is that the idle was a little high when it started and was warmed up and when I went for a test run it just died but it went again but was rough and wouldn't idle at all. :?
It done this a bit before the rebuild as well but not as bad.
I'm thinking it might be electrical, maybe the dizzy or coil.
What do you all think :?:
Your help will be greatly apreciatted as I'm now so ticked off as I just wan't to get the Zook back on the road.

I guess timing...got a timing light? Try turning the dizzy when the motor's at running temp and get the revs right if you don't.

After I got it running at first I set the timing a 8 deg before but I'll check it tomorrow

maybe a lead or sparkplug. coil, etc, check if its running on all cylinders.

Problem solved
It turned out to be dirty fuel for the roughness :bad-words:
And the timing belt caused the idle probs :?
It had the right amount of teeth but it was about 5-10mm too long :shock:

Thanks for the replys
