Hi, it's a Lucas distributor with manual advance retard which is working as it should, originally  timed it tdc full advance, and  then I tried doing it by ear which has worked for me on many other engine's. I have today stripped the carb again, it's now spotless and all the jets have been checked and are clear, also stripped the fuel pump and filters put more fresh fuel in.
Also tried with the cap of in case of a vacuum lock.

Regards
Graham

Ps the plugs appear to me to be indicating a rich mixture !
