Hi mate, I know a little about m10's so here goes.

Is it a standard carb? or a weber replacement?
when you put your foot down does it coff and spluter until your at fully open throttle?
When you say ticking do you mean like a misfire or an actual ticking?

I think its likely to be either the jets blocked in the carb or some kind of ignition problem.

[wayneE30]

alright si as far as i know its a standard carb. yes it does cough and splutter when i put my foot down. the ticking kinda sounds like a cooker starter if u know what i mean its coming from the (what i would call) valve im gonna take some pictures later so i can show u exactly where cheers

[wayneE30]

sorry should have explained better the "valve" is inside the carb i reconnected a little bar to it the other day well i say inside its more on top hope u know what i mean and when i put my foot down it splutters then picks up its ok at high revs just wants to cut out ast about 15000 rpms and lower i hope that ive explained it better

hmmm if its the standard carb then it could be that the electrical choke is sticking open. does it stink of fuel when its doing the ticking.

This is a really common problem with these and alot of cars have had the weber replacement carb fitted with a manual choke.

[wayneE30]

well when i had the air filter off i was trying to turn her over and fuel was spitting out of the carb. but as for the smell of fuel no none that i can tell

[wayneE30]

just a bump to stay at the top of the list

hmm its looking toward the carb, only way really is to swap the carb, you maybe lucky with a second hand one..I'm sure you could pick one up for very little.

re/selling your car, it does look as if its in good condition, it maybe worth converting it to manual, m10 gearbox's are cheap and the pedal box's/ interior bits can be picked up pretty cheap....

[wayneE30]

i cant realy afford to have her converted to manual so i figured id sell her and buy a manual its the easy option

[Gwynleym10]

You could do it yourself....with some help from us!

Its even possible to do it on axle stand/bricks.....

[wayneE30]

here you go guys this is my carb i've marked the bits that i was talikng about ie the little bar that i reconnected here you go have got some more pics aswell

[wayneE30]

no way id be too scared to tackle a big job like that. im having problems hosting my pics they are all distorted can any one help put them up for me hope fully in better quality

[wayneE30]

does any body have any scans of a haynes manual that i can have ???

[wayneE30]

bump again

[Gwynleym10]

Pretty sure the manual is online somewhere...dunno where though

[wayneE30]

what for free???
