Thread: Running on

Maby hot spots in the cyl 's causing the fuel to ignite after the spark is shut off tip warm water down the throat of the carby or through the throtle body while reving the engin at about 1500 rpm and watch the cr@p fly out the exhaust this will clean all the carbon deposits in the combustion chambers and may fix your prob

X2. But why warm water? never heard that before.....

Warm water works better than cold as it dosent cause a cold rush in the chambers i do this regular to engins as it decarbons the chambers and reduces the risk of hot glowing carbon deposits ignighting the fuel after the spark is shut off

Cheers

and not too much too quickly or you may hydraulic lock the engine......

I bought a new MG-B in 1965 and it used to run on from new. It needed higher octane petrol than the super grade available here at that time. I also had an EH Holden at the same time and it needed higher octane petrol also, bu it didn't run on, just pinged. Adding benzol/methyl benzine at 5 of petrol to 1 of benz. fixed the Holden but not the MG. Probably combustion chamber design.

Last time I had a car do this was because it was stuffed. Cause it was so bad the last time it ran after shutting it of was just pulled up some chairs and waited the 30mins it took to die. It was billowing smoke and steem from everywhere

Land Rovers just keep going and going and going and going..........

and

this was a big issue when anti pollution bolt on stuff arrived in the late '70s...
