Help, autochoke?

[ollyc98]

Just recently the pimpmobile has been getting really bad mileage. Also there is a relay constantly clicking in the driver footwell. Am I right in thinking autochoke sticking on due to a faulty relay?
Where can I find the relay (pics please)
Thanks

i think the autochoke is fed direct from the alternator (mine was anyway)
if you check the flap, it should slowly open as it warms up, so if its fully open, it wont be the low mpg cause

Oh ok then, thanks. Next solution then. My dizzy doesn't click when I suck on the vacuum hose, could this be the cause?

if your vacuum advance was,nt working the car would feel sluggish, unless you booted it and the mpg would go down a tiny bit

It just drank 1/8 tank in 3 miles

I'm thinking spark plugs, or a midget in my fuel tank with a taste for unleaded.

or a midget in my fuel tank with a taste for unleaded.

id check that out if i where u, he's probably adding a lot of weight and hindering performance

Have you looked at cleaning your Carb out and the filter oh also check to see if one of the pipes have corroded.

1/8th tank over 3miles would say you have a leak some where in the system.

I've solved it: my fuel gauge isn't working. What a relief I thought it was going to be hard to fix. Lol

 

[slyboogie]

LOL! I was about to suggest a whole along your pipes or worse in the tank, but nice to know it's an easy fix =]

Yeah i dont think the car would even run properley if it used over 1 litre a mile. You'd probably be looking at a leak rather than carb problems.
