Hi, I have a Felicia 96 with a Carburetor....

I Did some repairs a few weeks ago

Last Weekend I finally Finished but now I have a problem (very bad to my pocket, may say) It throws a black smoke, which i think is excess of gasoline in the engine.

Someone told me that there is a spitter inside the carburetor that must be adjusted or closed..

it make some sense to me but have no idea of which spitter is, or where could it be located....

any help, please....?

thanks

no splitter, just a idle adjust screw and a idle mix adjust screw.

black smoke sometimes is just the engine gettin cleaned, and sometimes is oil, check your spark plugs, submit a pic if you can

Thanks Cepheuz, good to hear of you again..

See, I dont know...... I've moved both of those screws (one beside the accelerator cable and the other in the front part of the carburetor) because at first it seemed to be (how do I say inundado) drowned.... now it is very very quiet and smooth. But man.... it is literally drinking fuel, 1gln of gasoline is just nothing for it......

the two tools that helped me out a lot on this was reading spark plugs and a vacuum gauge

the vacuum gauge was used to set ignition timing and to set idle mix, set the rpms to 900 and then let idle for a while, afterwards i took out the plugs and read them, made tweaks to the timing and idle mix until i got a light cream brown on the seramic and a very light sud on the base ring of the plug, and ofcourse a dicoloration on the apex of the earth strap, with a 0.10mm ring in the top of the seramic, nice smooth lots of power and good F.E.

if you can take a pic of the spark plugs i could tell you whats wrong (at least i can try to point you in a good direction)

make sure the vacuum advance is correctly placed and you have no vacuum leaks, and that the valves are ok
