If you've lost REVERSE only (not all forward drive as well) then the fluid level or the filter won't be the cause.

:D :D its on the road again all gears work but its popping back through the carbs and wont tick over and have to keep choke out a bit what a pain still never mind changed rear spring on my capri so have that to drive any help on the spitting back may help thank all
 
Normally spittng is caused by a very lean mixture in my experience. The choke seems to back that up. I would check for a vacuum leak somewhere on the carbs or intake manifold. I notmally try spraying some water around the manifold joints or carb mounts, if the idle stutters you've found a leak.

Hope that helps you some,

hi I know how frustrating these carbs can be belive me. I could of easily thrown mine across the yard a few times. I found this article helpful for some base line settings. http://sucarb.co.uk/technical-hif-type- ... ng-general . If I were u I would disconnect all linkages so nothing is holding the throttle or choke and set the carbs up as stated in the article. only difference I found was I had to turn my mixture 2.5 turns to start not two. With the lifting pins u all u need to do is move them 1/32 inch after the free slack of the spring has been taken up don't push it all the way home otherwise it will lead u up the garden path

hope this helps

Tell me about it! I'm about to go back to HS8's. I'm fairly sure the fuel is boiling in the float chambers on my 2000TC even with the heat shield in good condition. next step is manifold blanket I think.
 
turn the idle screws up - then richen the mixture. When it's right if you lift the lift pin it shouldnt kill the revs but should be where it idles highest then lower your idle speed. Wont be spot on but should at least idle without the choke.
 
hi all not been on hear for bit lets start again gave carbs a clean thay where black? i roughly tuend them and it will now tickover? lol at larst but depending on how you reve it up it popes dack through the carbs recon it could be timing? what do you all recon thanks for help
 
did u get the jets at the same height when u put the carbs back together??? u should then turn then fit them and enrichen them the same amount then go from there with the lift pins. however u only should lift the lift pins 1/32" after the free movement has been taken up. you then need to set the linkage up as per the manual. otherwise u will get what u have at the moment with them popping and banging through the carbs.

timing is also an issue however to get the car timed correctly u need the carbs correctly set and to set the carbs u need the timing set correctly according to the wm so it all appears to be a chicken and egg situation which is why I found someone that really knew what they were doing to help
 
forgot to mention u will also need some form of tachometer the one in the car just isn't up to snuff for setting the carbs.
 
i just took the top off and pulled the top off and then the bit with needal in and just cleand them? it will now tick over and i did convert it to eletic ignition and forgot to do timing then? i realy want to drive it with no more hassal? on it not getting me from a b if there is someone who could help ? we could sorte somthing out? thanks all
 
the pice of poooooowww still spitting had anoth now the dame thing owes me 2500+ so think ill brake it or somthing thanks for all the help this has been the biggest bucket p6 ive ever had and ive had a few but time to go?????????
