I posted a brief introduction in the Discussion section.
of note: I'm an A-series British car guy, mostly, so I know SU carbs, but that's about it.
I have this 88 yugo with an engine rebuilt by the PO and the carburetor has all or nearly all of the smog stuff deleted. Well, anything that was controlled by a water temp thermostatic switch is now gone.
The carb seems to have an accelerator pump problem because it wants to die when the throttle is initially depressed. From reading, the first thing I should check is the accelerator pump.
But now, after driving it more this second day of ownership, it won't stay running unless I am giving it aggressive throttle. Ran great on the freeway, but then I came home and replaced some poorly capped off carb ports with better sealing caps.
Now, when letting off throttle it dies out. I've had to bump start it while still rolling and braking into a corner.
I briefly saw that there may be a known problem with the jets coming unscrewed??
Perhaps someone can maybe link me to a diagram that tells what each port or connection is supposed to be for? Fiat/Yugo carbs for idiots?
Thanks
