Heres one for ya guys. 3.5 v8 8.25:1 on twin refurbished SU hif 6 carbs and mk17 lumenition ignition. I got the carbs and choke all sorted a few weeks back as it went very lean when out due to poor so called professional mechanics in the past.
Took it out laning and long country drive this weekend, about 40 odd miles stopped for a picnic, and at a pub and for icecream. I noticed just before the last stop under full throttle she seemed a little "missy" but I though maybe it was still a tad lean.
Made the stop and only with half a mile to home drove off and pulled up on drive, while I was waiting for the garage door to open it was at idle then as I bliped the throttle to bring it inside quite a flat spot when as I went through the first garage on my way to the 2nd one it cut out and it really would not start!
after ages of cranking and then leaving it for 20 mins and then more cranking I decided to drive it up the slope in tot he garage on the starter in low range and half way up it started but it still had a bad flat spot just off idle and a slight miss if revved but it idles well.
so yesterday I thought it must still be lean or gone off song, pulled the plugs and they were perfect and ran it up and all the carbs are still perfect and it now runs great so what the fook is it??????
I wonder if the lumention module is playing up as its a used one, the magic eye was new about 300 miles ago.
