Aisan-manufactured stock carb or Weber DCNF40?

the main problem that the car wont rev more than 3k is, my carb needed to be service to clear out unwanted dirt in it. so takpe lah I'm happy to hear that from my foreman coz its a thing that will not cost much to fix ! haha

okay now the second problem, few month back I've bought Weber DCNF40 carbs which is a very powerful carb, but if i want to fit it on my 4k engine I need to modify the intake manifold. Cost for modifying intake manifold is almost the same as servicing my Aisan carb.

aiyaa macam mana niii... zzzz

Kurang bernasib baik.

After few hours of regaining my Kambing, I continue doing my Assignments and stuff and later on at night I went to cruising on it, and suddenly I hear something snapped in under the hood, and I heard whipping sound ( macam bunyi benda getah melibas ) I stop the car and pop the hood, and there goes my belting. =.= (duit laggiiii Hampeh!) Actually I'm very lucky that the belting that snaps is the air-cond belt. So takpe lah, I drive home slowly. Nasib baik la the belting snaps tak kena radiator fan. kalau tak nak beli kipas baru lagi...

so the next morning after presentation I went to nearest sparepart shop, and buy new belt. and it fit just nice. so takpe lah 1 problem solved. then on my way home my radio is not working. I do some troubleshooting with my friend but we cant figure out whats the problem. The power is there but the radio wont work.

Malas dah nak check2, I took the car to accessory shop and the guy just flip2 something and walla the radio work. ( hampeh punya radio) and the guy charge me RM10 for just a stupid check! WTF !? takpe lah nak tak nak bayar jugak. kalau taknak bayar jgn pegi betul tak.

Afterthat went straight home and I wanted to close my car window and my window regulator pulak not working ! !~@#$%^&*()_ betul. haih so I took the thing out and do some cleaning WD40, pressure air gun and stuff still not working. The day started to get dark, I ran to the closest halfcut shop but they didnt have anything like it. I went to sparepart shop the tauke is trying to kill me by placing the price on the thing. gila punya tauke.

Long story short i didn't buy the window regulator, and when I reach home i cover up my driver door with plastic and I took the radio out incase someone wanted to steal something in my car. haih sedih nya. baru berapa jam of kambing repossession dah jadi macam ni.

later that night it started to rain. nasibbaik la I did cover the door with plastic. kalau tak confirm boleh bela ikan dlm kereta tu... haih.

can you imagine all 3 problems in 1 day. its like MILO 3-in-1 punya air tu. Banyak betul la cabaran dugaan membela kambing ni.. sobs.

so i guess i call it a day.

KL - Penang

After raya break I need to get back to Penang so I wanted to take my ToyoPet with me coz I thought it would be much easier to find parts here in the northern region. I went to fetch my friends in Klang and we continue our journey to Penang *I still haven't fix the brake problem*. It was a smooth ride, until the day started to get dark and I switch on the headlights my cockpit lamp is not working. If cockpit lamp is not working meaning my tail lights is also not working. I notice that my fuse got fried, and I stop and replace new fuse but the new 1 got fried too and I'm running out of new fuse =.=" so takpe lah, I just continue on. Actually its very dangerous driving in the night without a tail light, someone could just hit you on the rear (elehh macam la kete lain sume laju sngt nak kejar kete aku dr blakang) hahaha *perasan kete laju, padahal kete lembab je*.

Alhamdullilah, We reached Penang safely and everything went well despite the tail lamp not working.

So the next week I send my car Abang Sharm's workshop for wiring troubleshooting, so i have to leave the car there for nearly a month, the foremen found out that the whole distributor box has fried and causing short circuits which also fried my fuses each time i change a new one.

The foreman replaced the old wiring with the new one and it costs me alot (pokkaiii suda), after that he continue on troubleshooting and my alternator got fried too. (kena tambah duit lagii....sayang kereta punya pasal. sobs) so i change my alternator too !

long story short, the car is done undergoing wiring repairs and I hope that it will never happen again. I went to pickup my kambing today around 4:00 PM and I'm very happy to have it back. ILY AAY 5909.

no helmets, no pads , NO BRAKES just bail.

after few weeks the car is sleeping under my porch, it was on hari raya break i went for brakeservo hunting and i bought 1 from a friend from an online forum he claimed that its still working in good condition when he replace it with new 1 into his car, then the next day i went to install the new brake servo but it dsnt work as it should.so i call the seller and lucky me he agrees to return give me refund for the item. thankyou. so i re-install the old break servo. few days past it was the 3rd hari raya and i decided to go home take my starlet and just bail driving it without proper brakes to ipoh, cause ipoh is very well known for cheap parts and good workmanship. i left my car in a friends workshop for few days and i go for parts hunting, unfortunately i dont hv my camera with me that time, i found so many rare items on that half-cut shop. so i bought a used brake servo and install it immediately and it is working. yay ! and so i drove my car back to KL and i was very happy. not very happy im still upset about the car wont rev more than 3k. haish.

Weber DCNF 40. nyum !

long story short after I tested the car it turn out not as I expected to be. but never mind I'm sure there are solution to engine cant rev problem.

just a few weeks before Ramadhan, I saw an ad on olskool.org forum there is someone wanted to sell his Weber DCNF 40 carbs for a veryy cheapppp price !
At first i wasn't thinking of buying it because i was saving my money for something else but, when Lee (bukan nama sebenar) saw the ads he call me and convince me to buy it because its impossible to get a DCNF 40 with the price that he was offering. so without any 2nd thought I went to see the owner and i bought it.

but then after a bought the carb, there's new problem.. (biasa la kereta buruk mesti bnyk problem) my master brake pump / brake servo is not working, I mean it is working but its not working as well as it should, brake problem is something that I will not tolerate because brake is the most important part of any vehicles and it is very dangerous driving in congested road without a good brake.

I called few foreman to help me find used or new parts, too bad there is only used parts left so takape lah used pun janji boleh pakai. but then when the parts is install its not working well either. so i bought another one, same problem again. and its still not working hampeh betul !

for the time being the car sleeps under the porch again.... till i can find new/working brakeservo for my kambing. haish.

1st run on after General OH !

Its been a while since my last post, I haven't get the chance to write it all.
this post should be dated around 5 aug - 11 aug.

after few hundreds KMs run after OH i decided to rev the good ol' 4k engine to its limit...

akan tetapii.... ku sangka panas sampai ke petanngg rupa2 nya hujan di tengah harii....

the engine is having a very hard time to rev till 3k rpm (WTF!). this should not happen in the first place because the engine have new line of pistons, pistonrings, valve and nice clean head.

i was quite disappointed but i didn't went back to the workshop who did the OH work.
according to the pros/elders they said that this maybe caused by bad condition of carburetor or it hasn't been tuned correctly according to the new condition of the engine.

so i just let the car be that way, till i have the time to send its carb for servicing and re-tune the engine.
