Deano66 205 Posted June 22, 2019 I think from memory there is a coloured disc that fits next to the diaphram on the side,a different colour for different engine sizes. I think the wrong colour caused tickover or running faults, i may be wrong,as it was a very long time ago,but i seem to remember getting a kit from the dealer & it had different coloured discs in.

Deano66 205 Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I think it's M,but like i said,it was a long time ago. You can see the diaphram in the middle with the coloured discs. Edited June 22, 2019 by Deano66 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

consul315 172 Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) it´s quite a long time i ran a MK3 Taunus with a VV carb, but if i remember correct it was 2 very little bores at the acc pump that "closed" and therefore caused troubles. ones the carb is serviced properly it´s not as bad as it´s reputation.
