Renault 4 Club Nederland

Thanks Willem, i'll reset mine to 10.
I live in England, Hambleton, North Yorkshire and go to visit my mother in France quite often.
The engine has only been in my viertje for two weeks as the 1100 died not long after coming back from France on our last visit.
Thank you all for your help.

Thanks one and all, i've thoroughly cleaned the carb and made sure there's no air leaks and she runs a lot better.
Willem what have you set the timing at? Mine (R5 1400 auto 1983 Type 847 R1229) is set at 9 degrees BTDC.
Once again dank u allemaal.

Rudi.

Jan-San, my engine is exactly the same as Willems', an R5 auto with a 32DIR weber, the only difference is the K&N air filter which is the chrome 'pancake' version that sits directly on top of the carburettor.

Thanks one ...

Hi Willem, i've put a new seal over the camshaft but it seems that the opening around the camshaft is narrower than the one on the R4 engine?
Does it have to be forced in?
As for the camshaft being to long, I cut of the back of the pulley to bring it into line with the others, then fitted deeper ...

Hi, I have a problem with my R4GTL. The engine is a Type 847 R1229 1.4 from a R5 automatic. The problem is an oil leak from the camshaft. Has anyone else fitted an automatic engine to a manual gearbox and how did you fix this problem. The auto gearbox holds the bushes and seals for the auto engines ...
