Uno starts idles for less then a minute, Then cuts out.
I changed the fuel pump, coil, plugs plug wires, filters distributor & module
Also refurbished the carb

Re: Idling fault

Hi

The good news is that you've covered most of the usual suspects . When you say you changed the distributor do you mean the distributor body itself or just the cap? Talking of which if/when cap was changed did you also replace the rotor arm?

A few details about the Uno you've got may help to identify the cause (e.g. year, engine type etc). You said 'carb refurbished' but does your model have single point fuel injection? After it cuts out can you restart it straightaway for a short time before it does the same thing?

I have a similar problem which seems to have been traced to the Marelli distributor pick up but I have the electronic version (no points). I say seems because I haven't got hold of and fitted the replacement part yet.

Good luck with finding a solution .

I had the same problem on my 1108 fire. I replaced all the ignition parts with the exception of the ignition coil itself , solved the problem.

However wanting to know exactly which part it was that caused the problem , i started switching the old bits back in and tracked it down to the module piggybacking the distributor.

Beware of non genuine distributor caps though , i had a problem that looked like a blown gasket and it turned out to be that the distributor cap had developed contact between cyls' 2+3.:bang:

hi. Had the same problem with my carb. It was the idling jet thats on the side of the carb connected with an electrical wire.
