static timing has made a difference. Battery is fine - phew! -
Mainly it runs smoother, Idles slightly lower (can hear it - seems no different on rev gauge), it also cruises in high gear at low RPM better and engine runs quieter
It still cuts out.
Expected no different.
Can take a little more heat to put FIP into a fit BUT now when it cuts out it will restart first or second go depending how hot it’s got. Pointing uphill when it cuts out seems to be an issue for it down hill it has half chance starting straight away
Putting your foot down sets cutting out off quicker. It’s going up hills that seems to cause the FIP to heat too much so lift pump is next
maybe new clear pipe while I’m at it, my one is kinked, joined and OE looks many times longer and not brown
Only cuts out after long run on zero throttle. Like stopping at a roundabout that curves in, as you lift off and turn wheel it dies.
Even the slightest touch of the Acc. Pedal seems to stop it. I think I may be able to adjust pedal to counteract it for now, or 24yr old mechanism is worn?
Come the cold of winter it will run fine, unless it’s gotten worse by then.
We will find out together
Or I will repair glow#1 and fit an Hotstart for the interim.
