Keep up the videos bro..I've learnt a lot from you..shout out from durban

[tumikutama]

Oh wow! this is exactly what is happening to when I start the car in the morning amd/or after it is standing for a while.

[modisejohannes]

Thank bra I hv been struggling with that God bless you

[bernardmartin]

Good day Paul. I just replaced my accelerator pump. It's doing great except that the fuel is leaking out of the top of the pump stalk

[AJ_Analysis]

Thanks for the video. I changed my diaphragm yesterday, but fuel is squirting out of the area that houses the diaphragm. What do you think it could be? Should I put a sealant around the area? All 3 screws are turned in tightly, but still having the leak when accelerating…

Bro your vids are very informative. I have a Golf 1.4i. In first and second she seems to hold back when I accelerate . Frim third onwards she runs . Any idea on what to check

[karabodiraditsile]

Thank you so much paul you the bust Bra

Thanks PJ. I have a little bit of that, my golf will start one day wind not the next. When i drive it backfires and the it will cut out at junctions so i have to over rev to keep it ticking over. It wont stay on tick over. 1989 Golf Gti Karmann Ghia. Thanks John

Hey PJ I have this pirate carb on my mk1 so i noticed when i push the throttle it doesnt squirt enough fuel it like squirts a tiny bit so i thought i could ask you for any ideas on how i can make it squirt some more please

[sipheleletshabalala]

You know Sir ever since I bought the new carb .I know replace base plate every month.
Any reason why is that happening

[garybownass]

Good evening sir.
Non related to this video but I hope you can help non the less. I have replaced my left flickerlight on my car. I tested the bulb before I put it in but when I put it in I did not realize that the 2 wire touched and it blew the bulb out so I replace the bulb. After I replaced the blew out bulb with the new one none of my flickerlights are now working. I did check my fuses and the flickerlight fuse was melted but I could replace it with a new one. But my flickerlights are still not working. What is your thoughts on the possible problem?

I have a leak on top of the rod from the rubber fust cover.
is it an o ring seal amd can it be replaced without stripping
the whole carb?

[tavikacsa]

Hi! I lost this rod from the carburator. What is the dimensions? What is the Length ? Thanks for the help

[Shaddo]

Hi paul. Can you explain positive crank ventilation

[dylanboudjelida]

Do you by chance use any sealant on the diaphragm? Mine seems to be leaking with a new one thats been replaced.

[manfredhenning]

Thanks for the carburetor videos'!! It seems to be a problem with golf's... maybe because Im just inexperienced... Anyway maybe you could do a video on noises the engine makes (and how to detect them), like tensioners', water pumps or alternators'😅 because I seem to have that problems 😅 also is it normal for the hydraulic lifters to make noises when standing for a long time? Engine is being serviced according to specs. Maybe this could make some more great video's!!

[davidedwinhoneywill]

My Golf starts very easily, But if I blip the throttle, it has a flat spot. I can never make a sudden acceleration without that hesitation. Cab you help? 91 City golf 4 speed

Hi mk1 mix oil and petrol wat could be problem

[king-stsitso]

Hi Mr PJ
Please help. My mk1 accelerator needs to be pumped twice for it to start the engine but when the engine is hot it just start immediately without pushing accelerator. So my question is, if i can buy a new diaphragm and put it on then the car will start without pumping the accelerator pedal??

[brandonfredericks]

hi i hope u can help, ive got the KS2 and doesnt start even if i throw fuel in the carb, it just swings and nothing, what could be the issue? do u think its the jets? should i do a complete service kit to fix the issue?
