Fitting a vacuum gauge - Ga16
- Thread starter JClark
- Start date
I fancy one of these but i dont wanna find out me engines die'in a death!
well if its dieing you can then give it some TLC
i found my gauge today, im sure you can guess what im doing later
right, gauge is in. whats up with my engine. on idle at appx 800-900 rpm its very rapidly fluctuating over the 20 mark
could it be the gauge, its about 20 years old
could it be the gauge, its about 20 years old
onto the FPR, same place as JClark.
ive bought a new one there off the bay.
modifications to the engine are, timing brought forward by appx 2mm, straight through back box on standard exhaust system, K&N air filter plonked on top of the inlet (i know, tut tut), and ive adjusted the idle speed too.
the car was running a bit funny on idle when i got it, was a bit low and lumpy, seems to have improved a bit but not a great deal.
from cold the engine sits about 1200-1300rpm, i assume this is the automatic choke? when warm, about 850-900rpm
