Broke Down Today, Ignition Problem, Accuspark Potential Cause

Same, only NGK or Beru for me.

I have had too many Bosch ones fail They are made in India and rubbish

 

where do you get the NGK ones from, I've read the bosch ones are a bit pony these days

eBay , Halfords , GSF pretty much anywhere

 

https://www.gsfcarparts.com/parts/service-parts/plugs/spark-plug

But remember you get 53% off with this code WKD52

 

NGK plugs are the best.

 

cheers mate, will have a look, had the 52% offer aswell

 

Some Bosch I bought recently from GSF were made in Russia.

 

i got some NGK ones, only a couple of quid each.

also got some engine mounts as my engine is shaking all over the place atm and the current mounts are done in.

 

That wont help. These engines don't need much of an excuse for stuff to shake loose.

 

its only recently started to vibrate like that, I've had my eye on the mounts for 5 years, and they've finally given up on the insides i think!

 

ok, so went out for a little blitz around this afternoon, and it would seem the lumpiness is not gone completely.
it seems to appear when cruising along at around 20 - 50mph.

fine if foot it to the floor.

otherwise drives ok but I can feel the lumpiness almost like going over an uneven surface.

also the right hand carb is still noticeably colder than the left hand side.

I'm thinking now this could be a fuel pressure issue?

any ideas guys>?

 

@matty where did you get to with your pressure regulator?

@snotty I think you may have mentioned this before?

@earlylatebay what do you think matey?

would this do the trick?

you need something with a much lower range. just 1 - 5 psi or so.

Or this but the malpassi or Sytec ones are best.

^this. 140psi max is way to high to set the necessary pressure. Malpassis are good - you don't need the filter, they do one without (petrolking?)

But...get a cheap gauge and measure the pump pressure first. With the engine running. You may find you don't need one.

 

which gauge would you recommend matey?

 

can I use the standard fuel pump with one of these?

 

Yes. you don't need to go electric, You just need to reduce the fuel pressure to a max of 3.5 psi. 3 psi seems to work. mine is set to 2.5 and works fine. I would either get a Malpassi or Sytec. both have a good rep for being accurate.

 

Have you had your fuel pressure checked?

 

no, thats next on the list, but it going to cost me prob an hours labour to do that, so will fitting the regulator do any harm as it will be cheaper than checking it!

I can't think what else could be causing this issue!
