If the carburettor seems to be clean and good but the engine still doesn't run well, it may be worthwhile taking the inlet/exhaust manifold off and checking that the manifold face that bolts onto the cylinder head is perfectly flat. Mine had distortion (at least 0.5mm difference between...

Nice tyres :cool: Although looking traditional and posh, the Brooks saddles are a bit hard on the bottom - a cheaper padded one might be better received :dontknow:

https://www.franzose.de or https://www.melun-retro-passion.com are good choices - otherwise the usual online auction sites seem to do the job as well.

Probably needs taking apart to properly power-jet through the tiny tiny holes and channels with carb cleaner - partly to make sure something comes out the other end, and also to clean them. Spraying down the throat means almost all the spray gets burned by the engine, which isn't the aim here...

Sounds like the carb needs a good internal clean - the little jet holes are probably gunked up with corrosion or gel from evaporated fuel/ethanol/water.

It's going to be something so simple that we are all going to be kicking ourselves once you find it :doh:

Also make sure your fuel hoses are good, and good for Ethanol (a % mix in petrol) use as well - some non-tolerant hoses can perish and crumble withing months internally and can cause part-blockages that can move around. Cohline makes suitable 100% ethanol-proof hoses. Accelerator pump rubber...

Give it time ;) We are all inviting ourselves to your BBQ by the way, Malcolm :clapping:

"Hmmm, like using the spare parachute in my skydiving years though while base jumping I never carried a spare, just not enough height (or time) to deploy :D " EEEEEeeeek !

Also very important is not to use old tyres even if they look great. The rubber goes hard and less flexible and can break up or lose grip more easily than new tyres. I have actually felt the obvious difference in grip when changing from old tyres to new. Ten years and they are in the bin.

Show-off :clapping:

Very nice work, that must have taken a lot of time! :welder:

Very nice work - you have great patience :clapping:

See your previous post!

HI - well worth a look at this page: https://www.renault4.co.uk/forum/threads/hello-from-spain.1904/ as it points to some information you might find interesting. I have an 'Autopress' workshop manual and a 'Haynes' workshop manual - they both suggest 6 thou (0.15mm) for inlet valve; 8 thou...

I'm sure your dog will be happy to dig in the grass :drunk:

I also feel like this when I see a squashed snail :vsad:

Nice set of extras there ! Never even realised some of those were options :p

Nicely compared ! :artist:
