Re: Advice: S2 head overhaul Fulvia coupe 1.3S
Thank you very much for very valuable answers. I took a picture of the stud and the nut. I thought the stud might have an internal allen head, but I could detect it. I haven't seen a nut with a cut, like this one, so I was curious of the purpose. I have used a "fuel stabilizer", that shoul...

Re: Advice: S2 head overhaul Fulvia coupe 1.3S
Although this issue was resolved, I will allow myself to continue with some questions on the same topic. The starting point is a compression measurement. Cyl 1: 97psi Cyl 2: 85psi Cyl 3: 93psi Cyl 4: 121psi The measurements were first made with a cold engine, and then with a warm engine. The compres...

Re: Ignition timing point
I have a very simple stroboscope, so there's no good way to check the advance on higher rev's. I guess the marks on the flywheel is out of sight at approximately 20 degrees? As you say, there could be other reasons, but the spindle feels very tight. I will anyway change to a 123 system this winter. ...

Re: Ignition timing point
Is it possible that the springs that delay the advance function can be weakened? I guess I have the original distributor on my car, and that nothing has been replaced since new, in 1974. When I do a static ignition point adjustment, at 8 degrees, the stroboscope check gives approximately 15 degrees,...

Re: Air in the petrol inlet tube
Hi again, The throttle cable is long enough to have a loop, but not a wide one. There is a rubber bushing, where enter the firewall. I can't see that there are two rubber rollers behind the throttle pedal. There is an adjustable screw, with a rubber damper on top of it. (see attached photo) Clearanc...

Re: Air in the petrol inlet tube
I'm not sure my wife even hear that there is an issue, but I understand what you mean. I will record a short video, and see if I can record how it sounds like.
Attached a photo of throttle and choke cable. The throttle cable is new.

Re: Air in the petrol inlet tube
I have sprayed starting fluid all around the inlet area, to detect a change in idling revs. No vacuum leak detected by that method.

Re: Air in the petrol inlet tube
I have the NGK BP7E S, without the resistor. The plugs are new, and I reduced the gap to 0,6 mm, as I read in one of your earlier posts. I have also tried a cold start, without choke, and it works fine. The choke is functioning, but if you have time to let the engine get warm before you drive, you d...
