johny Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi, you need to tell us a bit more about the model of GT6, year and carbs fitted. A photo of the engine and its carbs might also be useful.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n.thomas50@ntlworld.com Posted June 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I will attach a photo later. It only started stalling when I had the carbs reset by a professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Maybe the tickover has been set too low and then when the engine gets hotter it drops further, as it normally does. to a point where it stalls. Once the engine is up to temperature the tickover should be between 800 - 900rpm. Is it worth returning to the professional with the problem?

Clive Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Maybe you should take it back to the professional, and let them sort it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 there are too many unprofessional professionals about once we have a ida of what car and what carbs we are trying to help with we may be able to steer you with some simple adjustments but the best advice is above take it back , get what you paid for then find another professional youre in coventry Canley classics is not far away Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 n.thomas50@ntlworld.com, your gnomic posts are distinctly unhelpful! No.1, "Gt6 engine stalls when engine is hot, thus difficult to start and keep engine running" No.2, "I will attach a photo later. It only started stalling when I had the carbs reset by a professional." That's like going to the doctor and starting the consultation with "I'm not feeling well". Contrast this with the open and generous, if unwise on such poor information, advice that others here want to give you. Think as if you are going to the doctor with a problem. Tell us the history of your car, the symptoms of its ailment, what you have done to try and cure it. Best of all, I'd suggest, it to actually take it to the Clinic! By which I mean a meeting of your local TSSC Area Group, where a whole faculty of experts can see the car, examine it and test it, none of which the posters here can do! Your local Group is probably at https://www.tssc.org.uk/tssc/areas_final.asp?area_ID=12&area=Midland, Coventry Good luck! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Gnomic? I thought an insult "You have the brain power of a garden gnome!" But no. Short, condensed, terse. I learn something on here every day. Doug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
