Hi all,
I was driving to work today and (as the autobahn was nearly empty) I accelerated to about 160 km/h (6000 RPM in a 4 speed). The car is a 1300 with a single 36 DCNF. Accelerating is fine, but after running at 6000 RPM for longer than about 30 seconds the car seems to lose power. Slowing down will resolve the issue. It certainly feels like fuel starvation.
I'm running a Facet posi-flow fuel pump, which I'd have expected to be sufficient for a single carburettor. The only other thing would be the jetting or the float level I suppose. I did play a lot with the idle jets but didn't give much consideration to the primary jets when I was setting the carburettor up initially. Currently I'm suspecting that the float level might be too low. Any other suggestions? Also, does anyone know the recommended float level for a 36 DCNF?
Cheers,
Dom.
