chevrolet k44 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hi, I have a problem with my Ariel w/ng. It starts on first kick but when I accelerate the engine stutters. When I drive in high rpm's the engine runs good. What should be the problem? Thanks Kristof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I would want to first check the carb is built correctly. Have you got a 275 Carb fitted? A problem at mid revs could be wrong or damaged Needle jet or needle or throttle slide or all. The Amal book quotes a 7/8" 275A/2N with 120 main jet, a 106 needle jet, a 5/4 slide with the needle in the third groove from top. They will probably run better with a 276 carb if you have one but should run fine on the standard carb.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sim60 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Just a thought I would guess it`s a carb problem to, how long have you had the petrol in the tank after a lay up my MT350 would start but not pull very well till you got it revving high, drained the carb and tank and put fresh in and away it went. Hope yours is that simple. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevrolet k44 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thanks for the response. I have the Ariel for 5 years now and never had problems with it. I'll try to take the carb of and have a look at it. The fuel in the tank is not the problem, I drive it weekly. Kristof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog8811 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I was going to put forward a problem with the points (250 AJS in the dim and distant past that had the same symptoms). Are you going to keep the solution a secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carb is cleaned and the holes in the jet block got stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
