How do!
So i am soon to be converting my 1.6 8v Vitara to an SU, but in the mean time i figure i might as well try faffing around to get it running a bit better. Its had a service (filters, oil, plugs, cap and arm, leads), and i will be popping a new fuel filter on soon. That said, fuel starvation isn't this things problem...
It idles really rough, nips your eyes with the fumes, and guzzles like a scotsman on new years. There is no doubt it is over fueling, but i cant see any obvious mixture adjustment on the carb. Anyone got any tips on that?
Also, I realise it could be the timing that's out. Where do i find the timing tab mark for the timing gun to reference? There isnt anything obvious on the pulley... Also, anyone got tips on what it should be set to with regards to advance and retard?
Cheers! ;D
Heres a far nicer Vitara than mine for your troubles:
