How's it going everyone,
My car has been going awesome lately but today it's been fucked. When I rev to take off, the revs drop back straight away and i took off at the lights today and as soon as i let go of the clutch and accelerated, the thing nearly stalled. It is blowing smoke out the back too. I checked the oil, coolants and stuff and that was fine. Then i took off the air filter and put carby cleaner through the carby and it kept blowing smoke, like it did when i was driving (i know it will blow smoke if you spray carby cleaner in it) but it kept doing it. I held the accelerator braket down as if i was accelerating with the engine turned off and there was just smoke coming out of the throats of the carby.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Mat

is ya hand brake on??
nah jks
i had this prob when i had a stock carb, when ya open the throttle there is a small pump that squirts fuel straight down no. 1 primary, if this is blocked, u cant take of under like 2-3 grand. just pull the pump out (just a black squishy thing with leather on the other end) check that its ok, if that doesnt do any thing then u might have to pull the actual mister out and unblock that. as for the smoke... thats what hot fuel does! id say all ya smoke is proble rings

how much does it cost to replace the rings?

It sounds like your carby is out of wack in some way. Chances are its running too rich and causing all that smoke.

Black smoke from exhaust = rich

Blue/Grey Smoke = piston rings

Dont pay someone to replce the rings, one weekend with a few mates and its done, its an easy task. Its even easier withe the engine out, but thats a bit of work.
