Hi Dodge Owners, (Dodge Delux 4 cylinder tourer) I joined the club a few months ago and am in need of assistance regarding the above car. Please can you offer any advise. I have finally obtained UK registration for this car, and gained an MOT but cannot drive the car "unless its cold" . The problem appears to be fuel vapourisation I think!. The engine is fitted with new glass bowl fuel filter going staight back to the fuel tank. The carb is a stewart, with a stewart Vac pump mounted on the rear last two right hand side engine cylinder head bolts with original brakets. The symptons are: When cold, the engine ticks over fine and revs ok. When hot if you rev past 50% throttle she slows up and back fires! (ie when carb is opened to more than half way. The Mixture has been adjusted without sucess. When engine back fires you can see the carb fuel control needle jump and then if you not careful as happened last week while stationary I rev'ed the engine and it back fired and caught fire!!! Carbruetter cleaned and reset needle valve to float chamber precision machined to remove small ridge on needle value, it now seals much better. The carb float was leaking on centre tube so I drill this out and re-machined with new tube and resoldered this in. Weight of float checked still as per original of 35grams.- this does not now leak checked in hot water. Spark plugs are black ish not too bad. Any ideas appreciated as I am banging my head against the wall. Some people say vac pump should not be mounted on engine but this car had been driven in Australia with no problems, and the DB book shows it on the engine? I would like to keep it original if possible. Many thanks for your assistance Andrew Lockwood- Stowmarket Suffolk. England My Email address is alockwood1@toucasurf.com
