Carb problem

[Tony Griffiths]

Hi Tony

I had a similar problem some time ago. It turned out to be a ‘floater’ in the fuel line.  Tickover was fine but any draw on fuel would pull the offending bit of grit up the pipe and block the filter on the carb. The problem was that it was intermittent and happened just after I got a distance from home.  Advice… blow through all the fuel lines.

Cheers

Thanks Howard - that's a very good idea.

Condenser starting to fail / earth intermittent to same?

Thanks. I've had lots of interesting condenser problems, so I carry a spare with wires fitted with clips, ready to try (plus, of course, a complete distributor and a bag of electrical bits and pieces).
