Carby stalls on petrol

That sounds like it might be a plan. Will check it out and see what happens.. Carby kit number would be great, if it's not too much trouble.. Your advice greatly appreciated.

nothing better than a plan

Sorry, forgot to ask.. Is there a good rule of thumb when tightening gaskets etc? and how long would you expect the whole task to take for a fairly mechanically minded person...

with the gaskets just tighten them firm but not tight then when you have run the car around the block just recheck.usually only the top ones that might come a little loose.i forgot to mention bye a can of carby/throttle body cleaner.also in the instructions pay attention to your float levels.the hole job from start to finish should be more than 3 hrs.some instructions mention about the mixture screw also read that.mixture screw is usually 2-3 turns out then slowly screw back in till car runs funny then back off one turn.after you have done the mixture screw set your idle.

$2000 bucks!? Who said petrols were cheaper to repair than diesels! LOL That's nissan for you I spose...

$2K is chicken feed compared to the 100 series turbo diesel - fuel pump is $10K and recondition approx half that.

A Plan? I love plans...especially good plans...

hi all, i have been having trouble with the carby on my 92 maverick dual fuel as well, had it tuned three times in 2 months goes good for couble of days then runs dog on gas or petrol after it gets warm. put it in to carby shop last week and as usal went like a dream, but he said some one had played with a valve on the side that gives trouble so he blocked it off as they do with a rebuild. today same thing happened again , missing an playing up until i get up speed. perhaps i need a carby kit as well.

Patrol22 ... I fell out of my chair when I read your post on the fuel pump price for the 100 series. $10K?!?! The sad thing about this is that I actually don't disbelieve you as in this industry it seem anything is possible.

Yeah it's like everything, why do you think the latest fastest pentium 4 processor is 500% more expensive that the the ones that are 15% slower. Not because of higher manufactuer costs, because they can.
These companies know that there is a sucker born every minute and somone will pay that price.
When our nissan pintara blew it's computer it cost $1100 to fix in 1991, now you can buy one for $50 bucks from the wrecker and new they are hundred bucks or so new. The majority of people blowing a fuel pump in a 100 series would be people who have done huge k's in short amounts of time and the truck is out of warranty, namley compaines. They'll pay it or sell it and a dealer will pay it. When the average joe blows 100 series starts to do fuel pumps the price will have no doubt dropped substantially. And round and round the world goes....

Thanks Paul, I had heard that was good practice.. I like the analaogy about the lamb!!! Makin me hungry already... Cheers, Jez
