Hi, my newly aquired v8 cuts out after about a minutes driving. Leave to cool for five mins and it fires up like nothing has happenned.
I have tonight replaced the coil, rebuilt the carbs replaced the fuel.
The blokes who bought it after a 10 year lay up have fitted an electric fuel pump to replace the mechanical one which apparrantly was leaking fuel into the engine. Has anyone any ideas? I have put about 20 litres of fuel in, is this enough?
It seems to run better than it did.. I haven't balanced the carbs yet or set them up correctly as I need to get it to someone who cab but I would have thought it should still run without cutting out??
Could it be the electric pump isn't up to it? It seems to run faultlessly then suddenly it falters out.
Please help, I'm going mad. The points and cap look good.
