Good afternoon everyone. It looks like we finally have a Nippy which moves something like properly!
The offending item seems to have been the coil after much head scratching and fiddling about. Having put a new one on, the engine instantly sounded much better and will actually climb the rises around here reasonably well now. There's also another new condenser on now too just as a belts and braces job. A few fiddles with the ignition timing and the moxture on the SU seem to have got the car running passably well so I'm just about to set off for Lincoln and attempt to complete the Sevens to the Sea event tomorrow.
I'm hopeful now that we'll be able to enjoy this excellent event once again - it's well worth giving it a go if you've never tried it before.
Many thanks to everyone for all your helpful advice; the loan of some parts to try out and for giving of your time and efforts in so many ways. It's all much appreciated. Hopefully, I'll be able to meet up with you all at some point and thank you in person...
Best wishes,
Nick
