Hi - started my stock 74 1.8 ljet yesterday after rescuing from its winter tomb - ran like a charm so thought I'd shine it up. Today (of course) being sunny and warm its starts up and runs like a pig. Chugging at idle, sooty exhaust - suspect it is running rich - any one have any ideas where to begin? I see lots of advice re lean running on Ljets due to vacuum leaks as the cause but this?
Is there a simple way to check the cold start valve is working when it should and not leaking ie how do you isolate it? Any help much appreciated |
