its rear drivers side on mine, although mine is injection. It might be inline in the engine bay.

is the fuel filter at the rear drivers side then or is it inside the carb or fuel pump
cheers miles

Mine did this = fuel filter.

Thing is it does it on warm days, cold days and the engine is completely standard, standard air box, filter air feeds etc so its a mystery

sounds like carb icing to me. does it have a k&n? my sr was terrible for it - you're driving along fine, then car starts to splutter & lacks power. switch it off, restart & it's fine. especially likely to do it on a run. get hold of some of that aluminium type ducting & make a hot air feed, just like a cold air feed, except running from the top of the ex manifold to the air intake on the carb & it should be cured. i'm 98% sure that's what it'll be. good luck & hope you make it to glastonbury!:thumbs:

:thumbs: cheers dude's i will look into this, hope it aint nothing else it is strange cos its had a service very recently so the basics are fine, it must be something stupid

drivers side if i remember rightly

i 'think' it under the car somewhere, near the tank. It's where it was on an old Astra I was routing for parts once which had a 1.4 carb'd engine.

right got ya, check the fuel feed and return from fuel pump, where is the fuel filter is it part of the carb? or integral to the pump? do the pipes before the pump need checking or are they plastic all the way back to the tank

looking at engine, fuel pump is on the left-hand side bolted to the cam housing.

would also check the fuel-filter aswell.

definatley sounds like a fuel issue to me tho, maybe cleaning the carbs might help :boggle:

cheers buddy, that would explain the problem, could it be anything else

yesh was small fuel pipe somewhere in engine, no idea where it was or how to check as my cousin did it. Sorry :(

where abouts on the fuel pipe, we talking in the engine bay ?? how do i check??

my old SR used to do this, doubt its the same thing but mine turned out to be inside of fuel pipe had collapsed

Right ya driving along cars running fine, oh its a h-reg mk2 1.2 with carb, and after a while the car just slows down even if ya put ya foot to the floor and the car comes to a stop, turn off the ignition turn it back on and its starts and drives fine then later in the journey it will do it again, on a 28mile trip it did it 4 times going and 2 times on the way back??, what the hell is wrong we need this motor to get us to glastonbury:thumbs:
