Satsuma has no power at all and the engine stops. Please help me...

[Bleakmoor]

Hey I need your help again and maybe newbies have the same problem as me.
My Satsuma simply has no more power. Won't take throttle and can't make it uphill. The car is hot, with or without choke, it still happens and when I get to the top of the hill, the engine cuts out and won't start. I have just come from Fleetari and have had parts repaired and reset to factory settings. Then I pick up my car and it's no good.

All the parts are new, it doesn't pick up any throttle, then slows down at some point and the engine stalls. And no longer starts.
What's also strange is that when I'm idling, it also cuts out. When warm with ‘choke’ and without. I can't get home from Fleetari like this. What could be the reason?

I recently installed the new ‘Twin carburators’ and the ‘Centre console GT’. Since then I have had these problems. I had it adjusted by Fleetari. And adjusted it myself so that I have an increase of 15.0 when warm. The valves are also adjusted. I don't understand it, can you help me?

I don't know what the problem is. Here you can see in the video how I get over the first hill and then it stalls on the next one. I go full throttle. The car is fine... :thinking:

I would check..
- Spark Plugs
- Fuel pump

this doesnt seems to be the effect of a bad fuel pump. engine rev noise would cut in and out randomly. so i would have to assume that this is also either a bad sparkplugs or bad pistons. try replacing the sparkplugs first and then check the tips of the pistons to see if some of them arent black on top (or just check the exhaust if you can for any blue smoke)

I didn't actually pay attention to the smoke, my error is no longer working, I can't get away from it. How can I recognise the broken spark plugs? The pistons are new, so that can't be the problem. I'll have a look when I have new ones. My car was at Fleetari, shouldn't I have noticed the broken spark plugs and fuel pump?

fuel pump seems to be operating without a problem, worn out spark plugs would however explain the massive performace lost. you can remove the spark plugs and check if they are black on the side thats in the cylinder. if you are unsure then you can just replace them all, they are easy to remove and cost little

Replace pistons and crankshaft. The pistons are probably already so worn that this engine has no power to run. I've noticed that the car shakes when you drive, so the crankshaft should be replaced too.

I know this is highly unlikely but do you have any mods that could mess things up? Try removing your mods (if you have any) and try it. This is probably not it but you might as well try it

Oh no, how can that be? All the parts are new? I saved up so much until I had the money to replace all the parts, I hardly ever drove the Satsuma. I haven't fitted any of the old parts. How quickly does it wear out?

I play without mods. Completely vanilla.

Share your savegame and I will take a look.

iirc parts like pistons and crankshaft should last really long time. possibly around 1000 km?

I don't know how much you can drive on new pistons and crankshaft because I haven't checked that.

I don't know if your parts are new but unscrew the cylinder head and see what condition the pistons are in. I noticed in the video that the car was shaking, so the crankshaft may be damaged. Believe me.

i know that the pulley system lasts around 400 km (exluding the belt as it seemingly never wears down as long as the engine is operating correctly)

I'll see what it's like with new spark plugs first and then I'll come back to it. I haven't been able to test it yet. My birthday got in the way and I had to sober up first :D , I'll get back to you.
