does maximum acceleration mean that the throttles must be fully open, or could there be a misplaced bolt limiting the travel of the accelerator pedal? I don't recall your car as being particularly loud, but 73db is awfully low even for a tintop Enrico My Caterham Seven's photo gallery

problem solved there was water in the fuel system draining it and putting some new fuel in solved the problem and car now runs normally however I cannot figure out how that much water could have gotten inside the tank as there was more water than fuel in it Enrico My Caterham Seven's photo gallery

I've triple checked the leads and they are connected correctly. I've tried starting it both with and without pulling the choke but it makes absolutely no difference. However today when checking the oil I noticed that the level had risen considerably, the color was muddy (it looked like melted hazelnut icecream), and it smelled strongly of petrol. I would guess that due to the long time the car has been left standing without use something may have gotten stuck within the carbs and literally flooded the cylinders with petrol. I'll have my mechanic take a look at it next week Enrico My Caterham Seven's photo gallery

I tried leaving the plugs out for a couple of days so that the fuel would evaporate but it didn't make any difference I then tried new plugs but the engine still doesn't fire and when I removed them for inspection they were covered in small droplets of liquid and smelled strongly of petrol I think I'll give up and just get a flatbed to take the car to my mechanic Enrico My Caterham Seven's photo gallery

it's a standard plain tonneau no headrest pockets Enrico My Caterham Seven's photo gallery

BTT :) Enrico My Caterham Seven's photo gallery

plugs out again even after just a couple of attempts to start the engine this morning the plugs were covered with small droplets of fuel I got the plugs tested and they all work I'll try starting it again this evening or tomorrow morning a friend suggested to try starting it with the fuel pump off, to reduce the amount of fuel that's getting to the engine when cranking it. could it work? unfortunately I can't find the fuse for the fuel pump. where is it located?

tried again this morning but to no avail the engine is turning over normally slightly above 500rpm with the throttle closed removed the plugs, cleaned them again, cranked the engine a few times with the plugs out, put them back in but it still doesn't start the engine just keeps turning over but it doesn't even attempt to fire maybe I'll try to get hold of some new plugs Enrico My Caterham Seven's photo gallery

yes the engine is turning over normally ☹️ forgot to mention that as the blade's battery if fairly small, after the first couple of attempts I had connected an external battery with jump leads Enrico My Caterham Seven's photo gallery

I can't get my Fireblade to start it's standard JW Fireblade on carbs which has remained unused during the last few months the engine turns over but despite repeated attempts it doesn't start after a few attempts there was a slight fuel smell so I thought I had flooded the engine so I tried starting it with the throttle fully open but still nothing I've unplugged the leads and there is indeed a spark I've removed the spark plugs, they were dripping wet, cleaned them, put them back in, but the engine still doesn't start is there anything else can I try before giving up and getting the recovery truck to take the car to my mechanic?
