Rough running

Post by Mandy W » Thu Apr 10, 2008 9:58 pm

Does your Bogo run rough at anything more than tickover with great plumes of white smoke from the exhaust, have very little power and struggles to change gear? :(

Then check and clean your injector pump banjo fuel filter!!!

I was convinced the problem was a faulty injector or two but decided to check the simple things in the fuel system first, lo and behold the fine guaze filter was all but blocked - leading to fuel starvation and all those problems. Now, thanks to the advise in the forum, my Freeda is back on song as good as ever :D .

=D> Well done Mandy, Glad it was as simple as that. It's amazing how the strainer can get so clogged up, even though the fuel has to go through a filter first. :?

All the best, oh and welcome to the forum. :D
