Hi all.*I have a 1979 Mark 2 Ford Escort with the 1.6 L carbureted engine.*It has to be choked for it to start but once it's started and has been turning over for a few moments the choke can be eased off gradually and the engine will idle nicely. But upon pressing the accelerator, even slightly, the engine wants to stall, especially if you stab it too quickly. If you leave the choke on a little, it tends to rev up must more easily, but take the choke off and it's very temperamental. The problem lessens when the engine is warm.
Can anyone think what the problem might be? I've tried turning the mixture screw to make it run richer (figuring this is what the choke is doing) but it doesn't seem to help much. I'm guessing it will be something to do with the carburettor, i'm just not sure what. i have limited mechanical experience but i do have common sense and i'm eager to learn more. I'd really love to finish this car and get it registered. Can someone help me? |
