Pieberg carb,golf driver mk2 1.6,wrong

Post by MrD »

Sorry not rocco related,my wifes golf is playing up,had probs with choke coming on and sticking,so have disconnected it and cable tied the flap,so it can`t come on,she then moaned about no acceleration,got her to floor it while engine off,only 1 choke coming open at full throttle,so adjusted it to get full throttle,it then stuck open :ire: ,had to put foot under pedal and lift it up ! Then the cable kept popping out the pedal :ire: .
Where is the tick over screw on a pooberg ? It`s running very fast on tick over,cable is still pretty slack,so it`s not that.
Need a new carb i think,as it should not offer so much resistance when putting your foot down,and it obviously shouldn`t stay stuck open.

Fixed it ! Top tip,turn the engine off while working on it,as the altenator makes a good skin removal tool,when you push your hand into the fins,ouch.
Was my fault,as the cable tie i had put around the auto choke was catching on the 2nd choke,causing it to stick,took off the little flap,so if the choke tries to come on,it can`t :shocking:
