personal situation - Dont want to spend a heap
Hey fellas,
Started to have a few issue's with electrical side and with tuning the carby.
i've been playing with the timing a bit, trying to find the sweet spot, but when i do within a few mins, it pritty much goes sh*t again.
trying to set the idle correctly, it constantly changes after i've driven it a few meter's up the road. The car used to try and turn itself over after you've turned it off. witch i've fixed but, if i drive it again for more than 5 minutes, it will go back to normal. and if you take off then stop again the idle chages everytime.
then driving it this morning after it tuned up nicely yesterday, i got probably 1km down the road and if you just tapped the throttle if would die, and be very difficult to start again.
The other side of the problem is when i can manage to drive it, (without it diying etc) it will not charge the battery. or so it seems. it has a new alternator and reg (all charging 13.8) and the battery is good, then after driving it will not start sometimes. if i let it sit for a hour or two, magicly it has charge and starts (sometimes) all the fuses are working, and unbroken.
When i take my foot off the the throttle, the oil light comes on, then goes off after 2-3 seconds. but under load, it does not come on. oil is good and at correct level.
Does the oil light come on if there is insufficent pressure?
someone said to me "the reason that the idle is high, is because the battery is charging" altho alot of people in my area smoke crack.
can anyone help me out, or have they experianced these symptons before?
cheers, ben.
