I took the volvo out last nite to go to the shops and as bad luck would have it my secondaries (the big barrels on the carb) decided to clog up just before a white R33 tried to have a go with me. I might as well have raced a datsun 120Y I still would have lost, the car was coughing and spluttering so much. Up till then that evening it was running mint.

I'll have to wait to fix the secondaries as the wife doesn't want me taking the car off the road for a while.

Cam,

the secondaries are probably clogged, I recently rebuilt the carb with a kit and sometimes little bits of casket sealant can fall into the needle holes, should be easy to clean. The other problem is the vacume diaphram opener is stuffed so you have to 'feed' the throttle or it bogs down (not a big problem for me tho').

BOV wise , I can call past after work on the way home or this evening after dinner?

    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
