Carb Problems
Hi help needed I have fitted one of the last carb 1275 engines to my clubman. It’s all plumbed and correct but is will not start, i have narrowed the problem down to fuel starvations i have carried out the blow checks,
1: I have checked the plugs and they are bone dry no petrol getting to them.
2: Checked the fuel pump and is puming fuel ok.
3: The Fuel is fine.
4: I have cleaned the carb and it’s ok.
5: Checked the exhaust and fuel values and they are opening and closing fine.
6: Taken of the exhaust and Fuel manifold and checked for blockages.
I have no more ideas. Any ideas??

Re: Carb Problems
Have you checked the jet and float in the carb, I presume its a HIF44.

Re: Carb Problems

Re: Carb Problems
Woody welded an old alloy manifold of mine, is your manifold saveable ?
