1991 peugeot 205 1.4 carb possible fuel percolation??
Discussion
Hi, got a great running little 205 1.4 peugeot cabriolet, carb engine, mechanical fuel pump, 52k on engine..
Car starts from cold perfectly every time, car runs flawlessly as well. But on a warm day if you've driven it, leave it for 30 minutes or so it will turn over for a while, then a dud...... dud.... dud.. dud.. dud. dud turning over, little fires, then gradually bigger fires then eventually it will run! (slight smell of fuel) and it fires up, and runs perfectly! No stuttering or anything.
Only thing i've done so far is wrap the fuel lines in sticky back aluminium foil to protect them from heat.
I did hear the fuel pump can cause this, if it's slightly on it's way out?
Anything else i can try? Thanks.
