Maintenance / 2.3 makes popping sound under throttle
« on: August 26, 2010, 09:53:53 AM »
Alright guys firstly excuse my lack of knowledge of bedfords
secondly im in the posession of a 79 cf camper with the old 2.3 which is giving me trouble.
I ran it out of fuel the other day, its on petrol
Filled it up and once parked up it took a while/ages to start the next day. ended up finally starting so took it for a run.
Ran like utter poo coughing and spluttering and struggling to get any form of pace.
Told a mate whats happening and he suggested the fuel filter gauze is cloged so took it out and gave a clean.
Now its started again but under throttle it pops once or twice with each blip of throttle
Is this just it clearing out all the crap inside thats built up from trying to start by turning over but not actually starting or something more sinister?
