Right, i`ve gone and lashed out all my cash on a new viva steed. Got it home and starts fine from cold and runs for about 4 mins before conking out, restart and it starts fine but dies after a few seconds and every time you start it it dies after that and wont run.Now the problem is i`ve got a knackered back,can stand in front of the engine bay for mins not hours so i need to define the problem area. Anyone got any thoughts. I was going to start at the carb as its got a new fuel pump fitted. Its also fitted with an su carb.
Also a note to all before bidding on something on ebay go and see it and test it before bidding, i`ve had my hands well burnt with this one as it needs no end sorting on it. So it wasnt worth the 7 hour round trip and a wedge of petrol money thrown in as well, never seen a car pass an MoT with cross ply and radial tyres on the same axle, a blowing exhaust and when it rains, puddles in the boot,back seat and both front foot wells.
