Six-cylinder Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Poo! We had a problem with a blocked drain under the public road to our septic tank the other side and the last manhole is under our garage floor. Parked over the cover was our Peugeot 504 Cabriolet that lost a wheel then failed to start, which had not been touched since September. The 504 started easily and drove in and out of the garage with 2 wheel nuts without a problem. I remember the last owner telling me the 504 would cut out when hot and not restart until it had cooled down properly. The last owner worked on the ignition, but Kugelfischer injection has always been problematical. We also need to work out why the wheel fell off! And yes we got the drain unblocked!

barrett Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Jaymic over in Norfolk are the only people in the country I know of who can set up the Kugelfischer correctly. I ended up going to France to get mine sorted (actually nearer than Norfolk) and once it's sorted it should run spot-on with a minimum of upkeep. It's an irritatingly complex system, but once set-up properly it should theoretically be much more reliable than a carb egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will ask him to have another look, but at the moment there is so much stuff in the garage he couldn't get to it. The problem with it cutting out and not restarting when very hot has been with this car for many years as. I got the car from a friend who always reported a problem. If Mike is unable to solve the problem then I guess Plan B is Jaymic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (Probably) Silly question: Are you absolutely sure it's a fuelling issue? Ignition system breaking down when hot could also be a factor. Just guessing that's probably less of a pain to check/diagnose.

Six-cylinder Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 A pair of new rear Tyres for the 200TE today. The ones on the car were not quite worn out but we did not like the cracking between the treads.
