Hi all,
I was driving Beefa home from work today when he started to act like he was starving for fuel. Id put my foot down and he wouldnt take up, he was slowing down. Then after a bit he would pick up then do it again.
What is happening with him?
Please help :cry:

Lynda

the fuel filter is the thing that looks like a filter that leads to the carbie (i think)

it could also be the fuel pump

not sure about new points but it could be the fuel pump
its not that hard to change just 2 bolts (from memory)

but its hard to get to with the manifold in the way abd ya gotta make sur you put it in right other wise it would be a waste of time

yes jam you could be correct but the filter could be up the back near the tank
could also be that your points are dirty or the spade connectors are dirty
could be anything
