As I mentioned yesterday I have a very rough running Corsa Turbocharged 
at the moment. Yesterday I asked some questions most of which I have 
been able to eliminate.

First
The Dale harmonic balancer - the marks are fully lined up so no problem 
there for now.
Air fan and alternator turn okay so I'll leave this as is for the 
moment until the belt pops of again.

Second
I've exchanged the ignitor for some conventional points and the problem 
does not go away so the ignitor doesn't seem to be the cause. My timing 
light has kicked the bucket so I'll have to find a replacement. Timing 
is somewhere at the 16 - 24 degrees mark though.

Took the car for a testdrive and connected the Air Fuel ratio meter of 
the SafeGuard system. This shows that the mixture is okay on idle and 
at light load but as soon as I try to accelerate the leds fly of the 
scale (way to lean mixture). Does this mean the accelerator pump is 
wrong or....

I'm talking to the vendor of the carb so can't tell much more then this 
at the moment.
