yup. carb went south on me. nothing but idle jets worked....main jets were ClOgGeD....

even the secondaries wouldnt help....

tried to hi-tail it back, but without the choke i have nothing, and i'm not spending three-four hours limping home.

AAA call tomorrow.
Aaron Cox
dude! do you have ANY fuel filters? we told you to take carb apart and clean it out - 20 bucks and a 10 buck book and youd be fine....




i really really am fighting the need to say "buy a honda" dry.gif
bd1308
too late 10 people here beat ya to it....

im getting it towed tomorrow, i have a plan.....

but its a secret plan.

i need somebody to build me a hundred paper cranes....

i have a OE FI filter...apparently rust particles are pretty damned small....
Joe Bob
Ya doan need an expensive high pressure FI filter for a carb......them cheap clear re-useable carb type ones are OK.....you can see the crap it's catching.
bd1308
either way it aint workin sad.gif
Joe Bob
Well duh, pull the freaking carb, resist impulse to toss it in the path of Rita....pull the top off, blow out the bowl, pull the jets and ream them clear with a jet reamer, reassemble, WITH a CLEAR, reusable fuel filter and fire it up.....keep an extinguisher handy.

BTW....hope ya have AAA...if ya don't yer not thinking.

BTW2....what is the inside of yer gas tank like????
bd1308

freakin listen man.

a boiled tank aint gonna help if you arent using fuel filters... that crap is still in your lines....

take the carb apart.... use 2 filters. one before pump, one before carb.

BTW - WHAT FUEL PUMP ARE YOU USING??

i have one filter....the pump is a honda carb pump in front trunk...I have a facet as spare but i'm NOT changing it....wait i think Dirk Wright is calling. Nope. sorry. works fine.

i'lll get a cool looking clear filter for the "before the carb" filter and add one "while i'm there" to the front as the b4 the pump one.

Well... at least he has the balls to post about his mistake(s)... dry.gif something I can't say for myself
rhodyguy
rev it up and put your hand on top of the carb.
bd1308
listen guys, I *KNOW* this is what is goign on...i need to get my tank out and boiled....
i'm getting it towed today.

kevin: nobody said anything, I am the guinea pig. doesnt work.

well aaron, it is internally regulated...it *is* pumping gas, but on the side of the interstate i was unable to check the pressure. An inline pressure guage should do the trick though.


Z, if it was pumping too much(more than the recommended 3.5PSI), wouldn't it run way rich? It did run fine at the beginning till i would say....months after. Just started this problem like three weeks ago.

the pump Does struggle sometimes to deliver gas....so the boiling out procedure shoudl help things quite a bit. That and maybe a new facet pump.

That being said, I will post pictures of the progress.

well it's at home now.....

just gotta drain the tank....

is there any reason i shouldnt empty the tank with the hondah facet pump?

rhodyguy....

Oh... rolleyes.gif

As far as draining the tank, that's the way I'd do it. A filter upstream of the pump wouldn't be a bad idea just to limit the amount of crap getting into it........can these little cars be a hassle, or what! headbang.gif
bd1308
not a pain at all....

everything so far has a solution...the pain is when it doesnt have a solution....
