Question
Gummybr
One of my good friends bought this old mark2 Escort 1.3 some 3-4 months back. And I drove it for the first time two days back and found lots of problems with the vehicle engine.
Background is this he had not used it for sometime and the battery was taken out and put for charging. We put the battery in and tried starting, didnt start so pushed and got it running. Kept for sometime and drove it to check air pressure on the tyres, on the way back I drove and found the car to lack power. Even though I planted my right foot to the ground it didnt go as it should (a Maruti 800 would have put it to shame).
And when you let it idle it starts missing and stalls. Problem is when its running no person can stand behind it as it worse than teargas.
One of my friends say it could be that the earlier user would have closed the petrol line a bit or opened it too much. Thing is I gotta go and help my friend take the car home from where it is now, what would be the best solution. I told him to get a garage person as well before taking it.
What do experts with carb engines say would be wrong with this car.
PS: Small matter I forgot to point out is that its got a factory fit A/C which I didnt switch on as the battery was week.
