Title: loss of power
Post by: roeman on September 18, 2005, 07:06:18 AM

Hi,

My sammy has lost alot of power especially at low revs, even when you put your foot to the floor, in second it feels like its in forth,

any ideas of what this could be?

fuel line block?

also its ticking over at about 300-400 revs!

Ideas please?  thanks

hey hows does it idle?
it ticks at 300 or 400 rpm that is under a load or does it idle that low?
how does it rev in neutral sputters, hestitations?

pull your valve cover and look for loose and or missing pieces. valve adjustment stuff.

Check all the basics. Wet, oily or black plugs, plug wires jumping spark, bad timing, loose carb, fuel flow, air cleaner.   Do you have a Webber ? The Webber mounting plate screws are notorious for coming loose. Does the tail pipe sound like its sputtering. If all that checks adjust the valves.

Worst case...blown head gasket. Oil in water / water in oil, but would probably also run hot if thats the case.

Cheers, the head gasket should be ok had it replaced not long ago, i think i could be the timing, but il pop down the local garage and see what they say!  as i have very little mechanical knowledge

Thanks

Right, i have looked again, and the wheel that the fan belt goes around that come out of the timing belt cover, seems to be bukled, it feels tight but then that could be the tightness of the belt holding it tight.

not sure what to do, i havent be able to get to the garage yet, seems like the only option thou

Sounds like the garage might be the best bet  :) Good luck...Gary
