Hi, Sorry for being late to reply Mr. Damika Fernando 011-2694223 Get an appointment before going. He didn't repair the carb, but he corrected the vacuum lines and checked ignition. Also he did some tuning to reduce the CO emmision, because my carb cannot be tuened properly under this condition. He introduced me a person in Gampaha to do the repair. I showed him the car today and he told me that the rod of the choke has been come out and not working. Also it has a problem in the rod connected to the piston as i mentioned earlier. I'll update you when the repair bigins

yes it is the piston in the variable ventury. An small portion of the rod connected to the piston has been cut away. This piston and the rod have to be purchased separately. Mr. Dhammika’s advise was to check the prices of a complete carb before go for piston replacement. The carb sometimes get flooded. Also cannot adjust the fuel control screw (the bottom one). This could be due to the above reason. After correcting the vacuum lines, I feel a difference and also the cold start not too bad now. Can you guys suggest me a place to look for a reconditioned carb??

Hi Guys, I met Mr. Dammika and he corrected all the vacuum lines. According to him, the carb has to be replaced since a small portion of the needle of the piston has been cut. Now the timing, ignition etc are OK. Talked to another guy for repairing or replacing the carb and still waiting to fix an appoinment Mr. Dhammika is a highly professional person and his work is highly methodical unlike other basas. Thank you very much for you all for directing me to the correct place Kusal Suraweera

I talked to Mr. Dhammika and he asked me to come tomorrow

Yes sir, this is the one. But this port is left open.

Thank you very much every body. I tried several times cleaning and putting carb repair kit bought from Panchikawaththa but not worked. Actually I have no idea about the fuel jets. Water lines to the choke are connected properly but in this model, there is only one vacuum line in to the choke and it also kept open. One of the rubber hoses is blocked using a small metal ball. I found the emission control vacuum lines from the link given above and corrected some of the lines but not the line for the choke and lines from the air cleaner. With all these problems and considering your suggestions, I'm thinking of getting advise from Mr. Dhammika Fernando. I found his number form somewhere in the forum. If he is not undertaking repairs, who do you guys suggest to show the carb for cleaning and tuning? Thank you guys again

Dear Rumesh, I'mm having a Lancer CK2 with 4g15 engine. But the carb of it gives a lot of problems. It has cold start problem. Until the car gets heated, it cannot be driven and gives knocking. and the fuel consumption is very bad (8.5 - 9 km/l in Colombo without AC). Fuel cannot be adjusted further and if done so, it also leads to knocking when accelerating in first and second gears. Vacuum lines of the carburetor is also wrongly connected for sure. There are two green colour Vacuum Control valves and bothe of them were bypassed and no line is connected to the auto choke. I'm also thinking of replacing the carb and thought to order one from alibaba.com. Please help to overcome this problem. Thank you Kusal
