2.4 (22R) Carburetor running dry on inclines

Post by leonbrink »

I used my bakkie in 4x4 the first time this weekend. I challenged a steep sharp inclines. I was a bit disappointed with the fact that the 2.4 (22R) does not want to idle against inclines. Is there something that I can do to fix this? It is rather irritating with the thing dying on me all the time.
Otherwise I must say I am happy with the performance of the motor (and the consumption of fuel, it’s a killer!). :?

Leon... there must be something amiss with your carb. Mine also runs dry but I really have to go up a serious incline and keep it that way for a while.

You can have mine when you've fitted a Lexus V8 to my Lux (BUT it has to sound and run like yours! :mrgreen: ) So guys, any donations towards a Lexus conversion would be greatly appreciated and you get to learn Blom's secret. You can thank me later... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Terug op die topic van die carb. Myne het dieselfde gedoen en was woes ryk gestel. Ek het die carb laat rebuid by SAC met 'n dyno daarna. Het so paar weke terug 'n40 grade incline geklim met geen probleem nie. En dit nogal in 4L 2de. Ek doen nou alles in 2de en gebruik 1ste net vir afry.

Jitte, sou wat wou gee daarvoor! Maar ja, soos ek verstaan is die EFI biejtie skaars vir my masjien...

Ek is glad nie spyt oor die ombouing van Diesel na petrol toe nie, angesien die bakkie nou BAIE lekkerder ry. Die enigste krap plek is die petrol... Ek kry beslis nie die 7-8km/l wat die vorige ou met die enjin gekry het nie, eerder nader aan 5.5 km/l. Dit nadat hy by Dastek was om hom te dyno en optimaal te verstel...

Wel, intussen as ek die float kan sort sal dit help...
Groete

Ek moet maar, anders ry ek weg vir al my ander Hilux maatjies. Sy raak redelik vinnig uit asem uit bo 130km/h. Maar onder langs loop sy lekker en sy stop vir niks in 3rde rat bo 4000rpm nie. :twisted:

Onthou dat die diesel en die petrol hiluxe se R&P ratio verskil is dit nie dalk jou probleem met jou petrol verbruik nie ?

I dont think many guys get 7/8 km a ltr with the 22r an average of about 6 seems to be the norm :( :cry:

My bakkie doen presies dieselfde, defenitief fludding. Ek het my float laer gestel, en hys baie beter. AS jy die engin start, kyk na jou float level deur die klein venstertjie op die carb, as jy hom bietjie ref en hom daar hou, moet die float level in die mddel van die venster le, kyk of joune so is anders maak hom oop, 5 skroefies, en buig die armpie wat die needle en seed toe maak. Stel maar tot hy reg is. Kyk dan of hy beter is. Myne flud nou net as ek baie styl ry en die bakkie hop bietjie. As ek mooi stadig op ry het hy geen probleem nie.

Myny kry ook 5.5km/l op die langpad, mar het 32" BF's op (+- 285), met my standaard 30" (245) het ek op dia langpad so 7km/l gekry teen 120km.h (geen wind, trailer, aftermarket bumpers, winch of canopy) met al die extra gewig, lift kit en groter wiele is hy baie stadiger en swaarder op petrol.

Hi Tristan. I'm about to embark on the EFI conversion for the 22R Just short one or two small little things and then when Bennie and I can match up our schedule, we'll do the conversion on mine. I will then be able to give you an accurate figure. At this stage I get between 6.5 - 7 km/l with 31" tyres. Will keep you posted :mrgreen:
