(G) bolt on carb

i have had my uno looked at because of a lack of power+power distribution problem been told its most likely the carb and so if i have 2 get anew one shall i just get a K&N bolt on carb?

Could you be more specific, like simptoms!!And try giving the carb a good clean

Check the inlet manifold for leaks as well.

the car starts up and sounds bad, mainly due to a loose bearing on the cambelt, but when driving the car seems to lack power, (i.e. in second i will put the pedal 2 the floor and the car pulls away but in fits and starts, kinda doesnt get all the power down at once just decides when it wants to go and is as if i am coming on and off the clutch all the time, so my head bobs around in the car!

What engine have you got? I would still say clean the carb, it´s worth it.

Smokeme, how would one go about doing this?

So far I'm thinking...

Take off air box and spray carb cleaner/spray in while revving the engine?

Or you could tear the carb apart, loose a few pieces put it back together and find car won´t even start . Use the spray then say how it went.

Has it got manual choke? If so, when it's driving badly, does it run any
better if you put the choke on slightly?

Have you run the petrol tank low recently?

car is a 94 L reg 999 fire uno, generally the car is running on low fuel averaging a quater of a tank bc in a student and cant afford to fill up! my uncle is a mechanic so hes guna have a look. thanx 4 all ur help and i will post up when iv had it checked out and fixed!

Finally someone thinks about posting the solution to their problem!!

Hope it's an easy fix !

BTW if you constantly move the accelarator does it pick up(accelarate) faster?

If it's from 1994, it's most likely an injection unit and not a carburettor. Is the car named 1.0 ie or something. Then it's got a Bosch MonoJettronic (SPi) module. It's a hybrid injection / carburettor. Check this first.

there is a lack of power when accelerating not an increase,if pumped maybe a better acceleration i will check. will check the spi thing when goes in 4 check up. i posted on here to see if i cud get sum help before i took it in,surely thats what this forum is for? sorry if i have wasted anyones time (smoke me)by posting on here !!!!!

I´m just glad to be able to help, what year is the car and engine size or model if you don´t know.
