Swapped the carb on Moskvich a couple of days ago, and the old airbox didn't fit, so consulted by friends, a couple of beers, two frying pans and some patience later we've got this. I must've fell on my head when I was a baby.
Anyway, as the majority of the engine bay is made from aluminium, I'm thinking of polishing everything someday, when I'm not as lazy. Or at least the UFO frying pan and cylinder head cover. Bling!
Thanks. The filter was changed recently, so I don't think it is the case, unless some bad quality diesel clogged it. It actually idles nicely, but when driving the car trembles and lacks power until I let it gain some revs. I'll try replacing the injectors in first place, as the car is 21 year old and I doubt they've been ever changed, so it's time to do that anyway. The increase in performance should be more than noticeable.
Simple question for car nuts. Old naturally aspirated diesel, mechanical pump. Decrase in power, increase in fuel consumption, trembles and shakes when driving at lower rpm. Pump or injectors?
Well, it's already being called Max, puzzle, watermelon, that lovely green car (mostly by females) and numerous other nicknames. I guess one more won't do much of a harm.
It has a red fake leather interior which smells like distant past and an old Blaupunkt radio, which can play local classic music station trough one speaker barely louder than the engine. Sweet!
