carburetor

Hi there, Newbie here, I have some questions about my Fiat 850 coupe (series 1 - 1965). It looks like the engine has been changed from the original at some point in its history. The current bottom end/block has the same model number (100GC000) so it is the same type. However the cylinder head...

hi Everyone, I recently acquiered my very first X1/9 (1500cc, 1985, Europe) But I have what we could literally call a "sticky" situation. I was driving and the acceleration pedal was stuck to the floor, dangerous indeed ! we shot a video of the problem here : VIDEO First, I was thinking its a...

I have been having some issues running my engine with the 36 DCNVA carburetor. The engine is a very overwarmed 1300 with all the goodies in my signature. The car accelerates and drives fine expect when at light throttle, city cruising which is what I normally do around here. The car leans out to...

I recently installed an AEM wide band sensor to help tune my carb. The car runs and drives and we just went for a quickie drive around the neighborhood. Some notes about its current condition. Engine spec is in my signature. Carb is a 36 DCNVA, very similar to a DCNF but with a manual choke...

Car starts first crank cold every time. Car runs for an hour. Shut car off. Car will sputter when trying to restart and then stop firing entirely until the next day. Any ideas? Also, the car will not accelerate in third gear at all. It won't go any faster than about 40, which is achieved in...

I'm sick and tired of this carburetor. It's been nothing but trouble since I got the car. I know it has ignition, compression, and air because it will run if I put gas directly down the intake. I know it has 5psi of fuel pressure (As recommended by the service manual), and I've cleaned the...

I recently got my engine running after full rebuild. The main components are in my signature and below: 1500 Euro head (no decomp ring) head port and polished per SteveC Ultimate SOHC 37.5mm intake valves (33 exhaust, stock for 1500s) 87mm bore Alquati 40/80 cam 8551 Mondial pistons w/ extra...

I successfully started :D my x1/9 yesterday after 5 years of being off the road and 3 years for a rebuild. See video on Instagram or soon Facebook. I do not do Photobucket or YouTube so not sure how to post a video here.:rolleyes: I have not played with the carb tuning or anything yet but it...

I have a 77 X1/9 that has been sitting for over 20 years. I want to get the car running before spending time and money on the body and interior. I started my project by dropping the gas tank, cleaning it and the fuel sending unit. Reinstalled the tank and installed new fuel lines from the tank...

This is another case of turning over but no spark. I have performed a full engine rebuild and am attempting my first start but cannot get spark. I replaced the battery assuming the dead cell and max 74% charge was the culprit. A big fat negative. Nothing else in the ignition system was...

I am working on the air intake and evap system set up for my new DCVNA carb. I have a few questions: 1. Can the activated carbon trap be ran with DCNF/DCNVA carbs? I would like to keep the setup if at all possible. I do not see any ports on the carb above and below the throttle as required by...

So I just replaced the fuel pump on my '74, replaced the fuel filter and cleaned the carb filter, as well as replacing the top gasket for the carburetor. I set my carburetor to base settings (2 turns on the mixture screw, 1 and 1/2 on the idle) and it idles at around 1500 rpm. I backed the idle...

I have a 76 x1/9 and I'm looking for a good condition/recently rebuilt Weber 32 DATR. I already have one on my car that's due for a rebuild, so I'm not interested in ones that need to be rebuilt. Thanks!

Hey everybody, ever since I got my 1974 X I've been getting much lower gas mileage than I would expect to get. When I got the car it was around 10-15 mpg, and after a witch hunt that involved rebuilding the carb, replacing the fuel hoses and a stuck thermostat, adjusting the timing, replacing...
