what causes flat spots? i got one when i accelerate, i have no idea what the rev's are cuz i got no rev counter

[Stoned]

If you dont have a revs counter then I would hazard a guess that the flat spots are caused by the lack of decent size engine

Where abouts in portsmouth do you live mate?

[5tur4t]

lol it's only a 1.1, it seems the flatspot only occurs when the engines not fully warmed up though

im in farlington, im usually up Mr T's or down at the corner, black fezz with no spots in the front bumper.

what do u drive mate?

[5tur4t]

1.1L Fezzy, F reg... only done 54k

[dee 2i]

could be low cylinder compressions, but more likely to be that its a old motor and just needs to be warmed up a bit.

[dee 2i]

do u have any other probs with it like difficulty startin it, hesitates on acceleration etc ??

[Stoned]

F reg?

so It's a MK2?

[5tur4t]

ben im gettin the tints on thursday, gonna get 'em all and try doin 'em on friday maybe. i want those mirrors but it's a bit of a trip all the way to liss... you can get 'em for me if you want, lol.

An F reg MK3?

I thought the very earliest they came was G. You must have a rare motor there matey

As it's a carb motor mate it probably just needs a good service. My MK3 1.6s does exactly the same thing, runs poo when cold but purrs once there is a little heat in there.

Cheer up cos it will soon be spring/summer and then it just doesnt matter

Good call about not going to Liss, surely the land of the living dead!

F was 89 an they changed over from mk2 to mk3 in F, then august changed to G which by then the mk3's where out.

i've just serviced the car... new oil filter and oil change, new air filter, spark plugs and valve clearences. she purred like a kitten... now the valves are tappin away again, lol.

I've been thinkin about some diaphram in the carb or somethin? i hthink its supposed to give it an extra squirt of fuel when it needs it or somethin... apparently they split sometimes maybe that could be causin me flat spot
i'd like to change to an automatic choke, but not sure how cuz i aint payin labour expenses for a garage to do it when i can probably do it myself... just need to know how anyone know?
