Thanks for the advices Guys.
Finally found the fault after doing a compression test.
And guess what? NO COMPRESSION>
It was a blown head gasket.

Changed it, and now shes back on the road again.

Now, however, I have to fine tune the carbi

its not sucking air through the gasket in between the carby and manifold? that would make it run a bit lean then when u tip the fuel down it would even it up until the fuel ran out..?

to digress, will an a15 fuel pump bolt in and run in the later b210 style a12 or are the rocker arms different length once more.


sounds like a carbie problem... also if not reving, is there enough oil pressure as well or is the mootr seizing abit as well? anyhtings possible.

It's a fuel problem. Even if there was a vacuum leak, you could still get it started and run it by manipulating the choke and accelerator pedal.

Quote:Then why do you not think it is a fuel problem? This indicates that it is.

Take Dodgeman's advice: Remove the air cleaner, shine a flashlight down the carb, and move the throttle by hand. Does it pump a smooth, consistent flow down into the bore? Or is it a weak, trickling flow (or none at all)?

If the fuel bowl is spot-on, then the fuel pump is working good enough to start the engine. The fuel level should come to the dot on the window, no higher, no lower for good running.

it might be sucking air from the manifold when you put fuel down the carby it will run rich and start run till it leans out and stalls

before you had this problem had you touched anything?

Oh yeah, in regards to the 12v idle solenoid switch, no problems there as well.
She also doesnt wanna rev.
Besides I've changed carbs a few times now to get to this annoying problem

There's definately fuel coming through. into the carbs as well.
Disconected fuel line before inlet to carbs and she kicks out well.
No problem with fuel there

reeves,did they put a new or different fuel pump in it,when it was rebuilt.i ask because it obviously ran for a while,because you got 2000
k on it.if they've put an a15 fuel pump into an 1200 style a12,it'll break the arm on the fuel pump,usually quickly,but maybe your's took a little longer.it definitely sounds fuel.is there fuel visible in the sight glass on the carby?
