Chummy fuelling problem
#1
I have recently got my AD type 1929 chummy back on the road after a 5 year restoration. The car runs and drives very well and is generally O.K. at 30 mph but if I use a main road and drive at 40 the engine cuts out or stops after about half a mile. It will then re-start and drive for another few hundred yards before cutting out again. The engine also often stops when I get to a traffic light.
The car has the bronze 22FZ Zenith carburettor and I have fitted a fuel filter between the tank and carb. I also adjusted the fuel level in the bowl of the carb by putting a fibre washer under the needle valve and re-setting the weights. I did this to stop fuel overflowing and now the carb does not leak. I am hoping not to have to remove and clean the tank because I am not sure this is possible with the engine in place. Any ideas Austin 7 experts? Undecided
