  1. Check dizzy shaft wear,  rule out a faulty ing unit by refitting a set of points and trying it. Recheck the cap and leads.   I would then start checking for air leaks on the manifold and find some one who knows webers inside out
  2. I believe they have  changed owners.  Try this number Tel : 01636 705 707 or  01636 822 363   There web site www.leda.com
  3. It will have a zetec. Engine.  So the injectors are a different type to normal and  mount into a sandwich plate that bolts between the head and the manifold.  It also incorporates the fuel rail and fuel pressure valve into this casting so are no good for anything other than a zetec.    The fuel pump is mounted inside the tank so of very limited use.   The throttle body is quite a big casting that also incorporates the idle valve.  So in my opinion no use either.  There are better throttle bodies out there for pence.  
  4. Coil pack and leads, crank sensor.  If it has edis ignition  then the edis unit and wiring loam.  That's about it.  
  5. I think the pump is upside down. So can't clear all it air. They use the fuel flowing though them as cooling.  Your pipe connection are pointing down .  If they pointed upwards then I think all would be we'll
  6. In this weather I run the sprint round with the rad completely covered as the fan seams to create enough airflow around the engine bay to keep it cool. If I go on a longer run I remove some of the card.  
  7. Markus. I Use to have this problem on an old Astra Gte I had years ago now. In the end I used white lithium cycle grease that my old man had for his bike.  Never had a problem with the sliders sticking again.   Copper grease will dry out and gunk up when it gets hot.  
  8. Carl, the needle valves are from burlen fuels  they are either 0.096" or 0.125" bore> the standard ones for hs6 etc are 0.070"  as for the float lid positions i turned the front one so the inlet pipe is pointing to the left hand side. ( this is no problem as the mounting holes line up, just need a bit of longer fuel hose) the rear carb is a bit more tricky as the fuel inlet pipe needs to point to the air box. the mounting holes don't line up so i used some washers under the screws to hold it down. Before i changed these round i was having so much trouble when doing track days or autosolos. i thought it was fuel surging so fitted a swirl pot etc all to no avail.  it was out of  sear desperation that i started messing with  float chamber lids.  after much testing one Sunday on an industrial estate with plenty of islands i came up with this solution.  
  9. Carl. Does it happen on a straight road or is it when coming out of a bend.  I've had all sorts of problems with what I thought to be fuel starvation issues.  Turned out to be mostly flooding problems.  If it is on the straight after a long period of full thottle then fuel starvation is likely.  The first thing to do is change the needle valve for the hi flow completion type. ( the hole is a lot bigger and therefore can flow more fuel.). If the problem happens after the car has been cornering hard then you may need to change the position of the floats. This is done by moving  the float lid round.   My car would always have problems on fast hairpin bends or when doing autosolos.  I after much messing around traced it to the above float problem.  Repositioned the float lids and I've never had a problem sinse.  
  10. Im glad I found this. I will be Swopping all my gas to Adams. I'm currently paying BOC the best part of £400 a year for my bottles.  And the nearest Adams dealer is nearer to me than BOC
