Re: 1985 Citroen 2CV6 Spécial
Pros:
- Car now idles at the correct RPM smoothly, no high idle, no hunting and no cutting out at junctions.
- Car runs much more smoothly and quietly for some reason, an unexpected bonus.
- Car is starting better.
Cons:
- Does seem to be slower than the previous carb, despite being "identical."
- The big flatspot/hitting a wall/sputtering when trying to accelerate is still there and as bad as ever.
I'm completely stumped now as to the problem with the flat spot. Ignition components are all new and timing has been set a million times, and it's fine when hot with no knocking. I don't seem to have any air leaks that I can find. Fuel flies out the pump when I crank it over, and it's only a small low pressure pump.
Answers on a postcard, please.
