hey i swear these are really bothering me now. i just got my spark plugs changed and my air/fuel filter. i am due to get my fuel pump changed soon as well. but i have been experiencing the most annoying things in my car recently. its a 1.5 carby, and when its warmed up, even for 5 or so minutes, if i am at a traffic light it starts pulsing and labouring. it really sh!ts me. can anyone tell me what may be wrong? also it sometimes jumps a bit when i am driving, like a bit of a jolt, not intense, but enough to notice. is that just because of my leaking fuel pump??? anyone???!!! :?

um ok so the fuel magically appears in the carby huh? i did not know that. honda (the jerks) must hvae slipped a dummy fuel pump in my 88 civic. BASTARDS!!!
yes carbies have fuel filters, mechanical, but they r there. i know because it is a little round-lookin thing attatched to my engine block.
so yeh the fuel filter has been changed, so i guess it must be the fuel pump. thanks anyway for help

ROFLMAO

Back to engineering school for you :D:D:D:D

(I'm trying to think of a car I've owned in 20 years that didn't have a fuel pump... nope, can't think of one :D )

heheh - still giggling over this one ;)

could be your pistons in the carbys, they may need to be cleaned and lubed.
are the revs hunting ?

offtopic: have you ever heard of a car that is water cooled with out a waterpump ????
