Can any members help me with my latest problem!!
Yet another problem with my Su's. Shortly after buying the car last year, My mechanic friend who was doing a general checkup of carbs and engine, found a lot of silt/sediment within the float chamber on the right hand carb. After cleaning out & replacing filters etc and topping up with oil, it was all re-asembled.
Now after only about 450 miles or so of easy driving, apart from 3 weeks with the sprayers, the same problem is back again! My mechanic stripped down the carbs and found another large pile of silt/sediment! That surely shouldn't happen so soon, should it?? I should point out that before I bought the car, it had been standing for about 5 years, albeit under cover, so maybe that is the cause of the problem? One of the first jobs I had done, was the freeing up of the sender unit within the fuel tank, as my fuel guage was not working at the time. By doing that, I wonder if the sediment was disturbed enough to pass through the fuel lines & then into the carbs?
My mechanic has suggested to me, that maybe I ought to invest in a new fuel tank! Would that cure the problem?
Your replies, fellow members, will be greatly received, as always!
