Subject: Re: [Spridgets] HIF6 Problem
=20
Removed the HIF6 carb yesterday and took it to David Anton at APT. =
He's only five miles away and he sold me the carb anyway. Well, David =
is in England visiting family, so I took the carb home and decided to =
take it apart myself again. I had just rebuilt it before this with a =
new needle and seat and a new bottom seal. I had also adjusted the =
float before putting it back together. =20
I put it back together again after finding nothing wrong with it. =
When I reinstalled it, the car started right up. Don't ask me what is =
different. Nothing as far as I can see, but I must have done something =
wrong in the reassembly the first time. As an aside I did find out the =
rubber connectors on both ends of the vacuum advance line from the carb =
to the vacuum unit on the distributor were toast. They were all dried =
out and cracked, so there was no advance in the timing at the higher =
RPMs. Things happen for a reason I guess.
Yes I had drained the old gas and put fresh gas in the tank before =
the first rebuild of a couple of weeks ago. Now I can proceed with the =
front end alignment. (I just reconditioned the suspension, brakes and =
steering. It's been 20 years since the restoration) Also have to drain =
and refill the Datsun transmission with Redline MT-90. An oil change =
and a valve adjustment are also needed. Let's hope the rear axle seal =
doesn't leak this time. Being retired is beginning to feel like work. =
I guess I missed British Car week too. Thanks all for the input. =
Should Have known it was probably my ham handed mechanical repair.

Mike,

Did you drain the old fuel out and put fresh gas in? The ethanol fuels =
separate out and the heavy gunk that settles on the bottom does not =
burn! Since it is at the bottom of the tank where the pickup is, it may =
have been sucked through and stalled your engine.=20

As some of you know I just rebuilt the entire suspension, steering and =
brakes on my Bugeye. Because of this the ethanol in the gas gummed up =
the workings of my single HIF6 carb, so I rebuilt it with a new viton =
tipped needle and bottom seal angle cleaned the insides out of the =
ethanol residue. Yesterday I started the car up and it ran better than =
ever for about a minute and quit. It would not start after that. I =
checked for spark, yes. I checked for fuel flow to the carb, yes. It =
has to be the carb. I have it off the car now and I am taking it apart. =
Any ideas of what I should be looking for?
