I'll check out the blinkers later today. Anyone's got an idea on why the horn honks for half a second just at the moment the blinker switch returns to neutral after a left turn?
But. Guess the Datto didn't quite enjoy the long ride as much as I do. The A12 is now coughing and splutting wildly - like the carb is getting flooded. Here's the thing;
The car is idling just fine at startup. I go for a ride, giving it a soft touch to the accelerator, all is well. So, at the first long slope, I have to give it some more gas, and eventually, it starts hesitating. It coughs and juggles wildly at the first touch of the pedal after this, just like the carb is flooding. When I give it full throttle, it works. But it loses power, and up slopes, in third gear, I have to help it up with the manual choke (!), or else it's not going to make it. Surely this is a carburettor issue? Since it idles just fine but dies at the first touch of the gas? And revs away again at max throttle?
When I turn off the engine and let it cool, it returns to normal. But after some minutes of driving, it's back to hesitating and juggling. Is the old carb a goner? :)
(Not that this really matters since the A15 is going in, but for leisure driving up to the point of swapping the engine, I'd like to know the solution for this, if anyone got it. ;)
