Nissan z24 Wont Go Past 40km/h Without Dying

[camsta97]

3 days ago she was running like a race car i had no complaints whatsoever until i began sealing off each individual intake linkage with sillicone, now as soon as i hit 40km/h it just dies and wont restart for ages, what would cause this? have i accidently sucked in sillicone down into the carby, if so what do i do to fix it?

When it quits, pull over and look at the sight glass on the front of the carb. Got fuel??? Dirty fuel filter?

1. Start by disconecting the fuel feed to the carburettor.

 

2. Disconnect coil lead.

 

3. Get a plastic container and hold fuel line in it.

 

4. Get an associate to crank the motor over.

 

5. If you get a strong fuel flow you should be able to discount the problem from the carb back.

 

 

This worrys me "until i began sealing off each individual intake linkage with sillicone"

 

Desktop analysis says it's highly probable some silicone has made its way into the carburettor

 

Most silicone sealents are not impervious to gasoline.

 

6. Do what Mike said.

 

7. If it's still playing up, replace fuel filter and clean out carburettor.

I just remembered something important the first time it did it teir was a massive bang from under the drivers seat it wasn't a backfire what would this possibly be?
