ok, thanks for all your help, i might leave it then.

I had hardened valve seats put in about 9 years ago, i've ony done about 9000 miles in it since

No carbon deposits are at rear of car any where. I might try one pot of redex in the tank ?

Oh, I don't think there is one of them, but might be a similar type of set up, i wonder what it looks like on the ford engine ? I ran the return pipe, can't see smoke so far but it might be because of the damp atmostphere, will let you all know in a few days. Arn't the fuel pipe clips crap...

I will let you know what happens, thanks

The garage is only charging me £40 for the copper and rubber pipe and i can fit it. It might stop a little evaporation ?

Some one has suggested that i run a return fuel pipe from the webber carb back to the tank, this might help, each time i take off the filter off the carb, i see fuel steaming, evaporating ? I assume running a return will save the fuel and stop it sitting on the engine parts ?

Hi there is no loss of power, it feels fine. No smoke when i am going along. I just noticed a minute ago something else, i could smell petrol, so i took the air filter off and looked into the webber carb, i noticed the chambers were full of fuel and some was still coming out of the little pipes...

Hi, I have an old 1975 ford V6 engine in my car, i have had the valve seats hardened about 8 years ago and now on tickover and pulling away from rest i get a little smoke from exhaust, it doesn't smoke when i drive along, any ideas ?

i just found out the induction kit is £600 odd, forget that, my colt turbo was £400 and i thought that was expensive !

thanks for that, i didn't know.

It cost me a few grand as its only 3 yr old !, so i dont want to ruin it just yet with my experiments !, i put an induction kit and dump valve on my little mitsi colt turbo and this made it go from 149 to 178 bhp, quite good, so i think there could be a air induction kit coming soon, thing is it...

no mods yet, but i did some to both my EVO's and my mitsi colt turbo, you never know ! watch this space !
