Might it have been the carburetor icing up? was it a damp or misty day?

If not......

I  would suspect the carburetor because if it will idle this means fuel is=

getting to the carb. so if the float chamber is full then you should be=20
able to move off of quite some way before there is fuel starvation due to=20
the pump not working.

fuel pump is clean and rebuild with new diaphragm, tank is also new, pipe
from tank to glasfilter is old but clean, proper petrol constantly in the
glas, pipe from glas to fuel pump is old but blewed out and okay.
Connection from fuel pump to carburetter is also used, but fuel is coming

When I turn the ignition key, the fuelpump clacks 2 or 3 times and when I

A short description in german for tuning the diaphragm correct would be
very helpful, Thomas

&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hi list,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; I try to explain in my perfect technical english<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; today I did my first short trip ( 5km each) with the old
shakin sailor to the next village for shopping. Everything works fine. On
my way back I stumbled over a railway crossing. After that the engine
wants to starve. I stopped beside for 5minutes with running engine and
tried a few times to keep on driving. But every time when I want to
continue the way back ,&nbsp; the engine begin to starve. I opened the
bonnet, sparkplugs okay, accelerator rods okay! After 5minutes with still
running engine I try again to shift into the first gear and try to roll
on again and then everything works fine until home.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; But what happened? Dirt in the carburetter (btw: mixture
is too fat, exhaust pipe end is coaly black and spark plugs also)?
Problem in the fuel pump?(fuel pump is clean, with new diaphragma)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any ideas where I must regulate something?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; It=B4s an early 2 l petrol(siamese bore) fitted with a
Weber Carburetter TCI 34 and Lucas 25D ignition<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thanks<br>
