Hi got a A15 motor,i fittet a new carbie,at 5000rpm i lose alot of power,it was the same with the old carb. Could it be my elec fuel pump? It use to be fine,

Check you points, maybe?? or you could be right.

Thanx I will do that,maybe it could be the fuel filter aswel, You dont think it could be valves?? I realy hope not! . The pump is about 10years now... Wil it work if I put a inline fuel pump in that pumps constantly,the carb is a hitatche,it wont flood wil it? The other pump got a presure swith.

I'd say points too.

Thanx,i wil check the points then,

THANX for the advice,it was in fact the points!!

sam1741 you can ask any mechanic but 'points' or 'contact points' is a bit inside an old (pre 1980's) distributor. if you are looking for performance out of your a15 is to get your hands on a fully electronic distributor or upgrade your contact points to a contactless system using a hall effect sensor. you can always cheaply replace your points from a car-shop but you should get a tuner to install and tune them for you.
goodluck and please use the search function, theres loads of info on ignition electrics if you just search for it. when i changed to an a15 i got a buttload more torque.

dont know? But thanx anyway!!! I Have a A12 engine for spares,but I am is SA!
