5 GT Turbo MK1 GT Turbo Gordini HELP

[gwhite1]

Hi All.

We have a Renault 5gt turbo MK1 Gordini in our showroom that I have been asked to get running.

It starts from cold without choke (most of the time), I let it warm up but as soon as I press the throttle past half way it spits fuel out of the carb and stops.
The idle CO is off the chart and will not adjust.

I have worked on Volvo since 1989 and recognised the Weber carb to be similar to a Volvo 340 1.4
I have stripped and cleaned it a few times but have no joy.

I can not find any information on this can anyone help please?

Thanks

Gary

@sparkie and @Brigsy are the carb guru's.

Soulds like a stuck float or needle valve in the float chamber though if its hoofing fuel everywhere.

Unfortunately I'm not a weber guy. Have you checked to see if the turbo blades are spinning freely, as its a suck through carb, if the turbo shaft is stuck, you'll encounter issues.
