Hello
My Vauxhall Viva HC, keeps cutting out after about 30mins driving. When it first happened I cleaned the fuel pump and cleaned the carburettor. I found small sandy grains which was cleared out. It was assembled and run well but again after about 45mins it started cutting out, it would tick over but every time a put on the accelerator it cut out. the only way I got home was to keep opening the choke to give extra fuel. but after some time it was nip and tuck how I got home and had to use the choke to get into the garage. After the first time I added a fuel filter and could tell the fuel filter was virtually empty.
This is so frustrating as it runs well to start off with then feels like starvation of fuel. I have read it could be the tappets not set right. But i'm open to anything at the moment.
The fuel pump is old but seems to pull through ok.
Has anyone got any tips to help me?
Thanks
