Peugeot 405 89' 1.6 Petrol

Hej

I have some problem with the solex caburator on this car

The first problem was when i was starting the engine the machine got to much
petrol and draugned....
I managed to figure out something about the choker flap connected to the
vacum "membran" again connected to the black box...
There was a hole in the membram... i got another one, the metal plate in the
midtle was a litle smaller and the working area a litle longer, this made
the choker flap 100% closed when the engine is stopped.. which i finds
wrong...

I moved the spring to the other side of the membrane and know i can adjust
the choker flap with the schreew in the end of the house....
The enginge starte nicely now... but after 10-50seconds the engine goes
lower in rpm and starts running on 3 or 2 cylinders and if i not hit the
speeder it will turn off...

I changed the spark plugs and the wires and the distributer top and the
rotor with no success...

Some one have an idea for me ?

Thanks in advance

405 solex carb

hi i have a 1990 1.9 with solex carb. i messed around with it for along time and got fed up with bad idle, tempermental choke and terrible feul economy. i bought a webber carb off a ford capri and put it in place of the solex. very easy too convert, bolt pattern onto manifold is near perfect match and the rest is a doddle! wish i had done it ages ago, guarenteed too start and idle perfect and now have no problem getting the same mpg as my 1.9gld 405. would recommend you find a webber!
