    I've attached a photo of the engine bay of my 1994 Mitsubishi Lancer GL 1.5

    Can you good motoring people please confirm if the part with the white arrow pointing to it, is the carburettor?

    Have some slight fuelling issues when taking off from a stand still. I've swapped out the plugs, plug leads, fuel filter and will be doing the distributor cap and rotor tomorrow. If that doesn't solve it I'm going to look at the carb next. Thanks.

    KKELLY77... The Carb would be under the airfilter housing.... not familar with your car but what you have marked with arrow may be part of the engine breather... & would replace ignition parts first (ht leads & distributer cap) Carb may be a bit beyond home mechanic.... No offence but may do more harm than good as little you could do other than leave complete carb in for overhall to specialist....

    :eek:, that's a blast from the past. Many hours scratchin the head looking at that engine. In the days before you just looked something up on the internet:D. I had a similar problem on mine. It was damp getting into the distributor. A wet winters morning it wouldn't start. Super reliable apart from that. I just took off the cap and sealed it up. Seams to be the only unreliable bit on them engines. The next lancer I had was a '974g13 without the carb. Exact same problem.

    The carb is just at the back of the rocker cover.

    There is lots of free to down load workshop manuals for those 4g engines.

    This is a pdf. You can see it in there. It a big yolk with a bowl on it. A fairly complicated looking device.

    Might just need to adjust the fueling rather than an overhaul.

    Thanks for the replies and links.

    I'm expecting the cap and rotor to be the issue due to the mileage on the car. I doubt it's damp getting in. It's in a hot country ;)

    If the carb does need to be adjusted, I'll leave it to an expert methinks.

    FYI - Issue turned out to be the distributor cap and rotor.

    The carbon centre of the old cap was at least 3mm shorter than that of the new one. Old rotor looked pretty tired too. Have to say, it was an extremely easy 5 min job to replace.

    Thanks again for the replies. Especially the PDF for the engine. Very handy to have.

    A carburettor and rotor arm - how quaint!

    ...glad you're sorted OP, not sure, but that looks like a vacuum-operated crankcase breather, not a carb.

    The carb is in the back, under the large-diameter air filter housing.

    ......actually - does it even have a carb ?....not a single point injector....(dunno, just asking........) ?

    Definitely a carb. You can see it in the PDF previously posted.

    I would have thought it should have fuel injection in 1994. Was it sold new in the Irish market at that date? I don't see anything that looks like a carburettor in the thread and I don't see a link to a PDF either.

    Don't think so. Mr. kelly appears to be somewhere less damp though:D.

    That site is in the Ukraine, could be a different specification.
