B series motor

Post by Scobby12 »

Hi there guys!

Im having problems with my engine i first notice when towing a trailer up a hill it started losing power then would die after i push clutch in... did a bit of googling and ended up changing the fuel filter, this fixed it! but after about 300ks i notice the acceleration was slow then it wouldnt go over 80km then it died again this time would not start so pull the guazse out cleaned it and bled the fuel system then tried to start it sputted into life only to stop so tried again it started was rough but as soon as i cracked the throttle it died, so gave up. then today we bled the injector and started it went rough so drove it to work where it only just went over 80km so anyone have any ideas as what this would be? im stumped and have tried everything
Cheers

Could be a fuel block somewhere. Clogged injectors or pump. Take fuel filter off empty it then fill it with injector cleaner before refitting. Also could be air in the injector lines. crack one of the pipes on top of injectors a bit (with motor running) till fuel starts coming out. Retighten and see how that goes. Good luck
