new to e30 engine trouble need desperate help

[Gwynleym10]

Is it always at 3/4, ever higher? or lower? Does it creep up in traffic?

Cause you maybe leeking water into the cyclinders, that's why it needs a lot of rev's to get going again....

If you do have cooling problems, there are a couple of little things that you can do on an m10 to make it run better...there cheap! (that unless you want to replace the head...)

[Gwynleym10]

[wayneE30]

hello again ive just been out there and had a look for arc's but nothing but it did cut out and there was a buzzing noise coming from the carb it didnt stop till i swiched the ignition off ive no idea what that was anybody?????

[Gwynleym10]

hmm, could well be over heating, but if its just cutting out, don't see why overheating would cause that...

Sorry i have no idea about carbs.... i do know that si316 has had problems with his...

[wayneE30]

Save your money on buying new bits or getting it repaired, 10p for a box of matches and just finish the mutha off, and push dog shit through the letterbox of whoever you bought it off.

[wayneE30]

[wayneE30]
