Wiped and dried the cap and the internals and all ran OK....untill you try and rev the engine.
It would struggle, splatter and eventually cut out, unless you release the throttle, in which case it would idle perfectly.
This happens hot or cold and does not seem to have any pattern -it may run OK for an entire journey and then be like this the next start or happen the next time you touch gas. (Last one was while pulling out into dual carriageway - luckily bu stop and lay-by were near
..And then a tow home.)Since then replaced:
HT leads, Dizzy cap, rotor arm, points, condensor, plugs, coil from working car, reamade all LT wiring.
Checked voltage and connection on iggy key etc - seems OK and constant, advance works according to the strobe as you attempt to revv the engine.
Re-buit the dizzy out of the car - just to check advance weights&springs are still there. Replaced wire links on the points backplate (post to outside terminal and a link the ground).
Fuel is certainly getting through - see it blowing in with filter removed.
Anyone seen this before? Are we talking new but dead HT parts - rotor arm/cap/leads? Would not be a first though.
Will be onto the carb this Sat - as I got almost nowt more to overhaul on the iggy side!
Any suggestions (even silly ones!
) will be welcome.
