Feeling hot hot hot!
Posted: Sun Jul 14, 2019 5:06 pm
Thought I'd start with some topical disco!
The engine bay of my stylus is getting hot hot hot!
After about 20mins I get running issues, it starts to stall on over run and at idle. Then wont start till cooler.wster temp is ok.
It's a fiat, 2.0 TC Miafiori engine.
All my ignition is new, inc blue bosch coil. The coil however is mounted exhaust manifold side as not much room for it on the other with the 40s and the distributor.
'm thinking could be coil getting hot from exhaust?
Or fuel vapourisation? , carbs feel pretty cool to to the touch tho.
Drivers front wing is also very hot to the touch with exhaust running through. Should I heat matt the inside of the wing?
2 questions, is the heat my issue and does anyone have the same or know how i remove the heat? If I wrap the manifold , I would have to cut a window in the fiberglass cill to let heat out there at the silencer. Make vents in wheel arches? (Dry weather driver only anyway).
I'm thinking of rebuilding the webbers anyway as I have gasket kits and possibly upgrade the pipes, filters and pump , There is some dodgy wiring below, no idea what wiring is for but it uses scotch blocks so they should be soldered properly and tidied up.
Any ideas ?
