K10 cutting out while driving?
- Thread starter pietro
- Start date
Is this while the engine is hot? Driving fast or slow?
When my engine was hot and doing about 40, it would struggle big time, lose all power when my foot was flat to the floor - this turned out to be the carb
and more recently, it wouldnt start. Kept cutting out (stalling) at low speeds pulling up to junctions etc. This turned out to be the dizzy

I used to have this too. With me the car was spluttering and sometimes stalling for a longer time while doing 40-50 mph.
It turned out to be a mix between a faulty carb and bad points in the distributor.
Which was solved after putting in the electronic ignition (without points) and getting the carb off one of the first micra's
Although any carb would have done the job

i had the same problem with my k11
my dad sorted it all said it wasmymanifold but in the k10 it should be your points or condenser (if that makes sense it's just what he's said to me mate) or even simpler try a new spark plug loll
hope that helps mate

I think it may be the rotar arm as it is not to healthy. It is either this or fuel supply problem, the filter is new though?
The carb was cleaned and now works great with no flat spots. The car idles ok too (at about 1300rpm) due to carb setup.
I will change the rotar arm 1st.
Anyone know where I can buy a new one online?
ps. Ed - fitted the back box (which has helped top end).
