whistling noise under the bonnet

Post by Wag62 »

Hi fellow FB EK lovers.
My problem is when I am driving EK 138 grey above 60kms p/h and take my foot off the accelerator I hear a whistling noise coming from under the bonnet, when I accelerate it disappears.
I have changed the solid vaccume line to the dizzy but hasn't fixed the whistle.
Any idea's would be appreciated.

HA Ha haven't looked for the lolly pop man however he may be in the diff.
Intake manafold may be the next place to look as it only stared on a continuos 55 60mph run to the Gold coast.
Thanks for your suggestion NZ EK.

Also check that the nuts holding the carby to the manifold are tight.
A vacuum leak will cause a whistle.

Welcome to the forum also Wag62 :wink:

Probably whistling because it doesn't know the words. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
The only reason for time is so everything dosen't happen at once.

Again thanks for the advise.
