Hello,
Any thoughts on what caused this please?
Driving home today, moving slowly in traffic and then there was a puff of black smoke from under the bonnet and the engine cut out.
Restarted immediately and I pulled over, engine running perfectly fine static. Drove home and no further problems.
Has been misfiring a little recently, especially cornering, so disconnected coil and plug leads then reconnected ensuring no undue tensions and seemed to cure it (assume it was pulling a lead when leaning).
However it was idling a little slow anyway so I did increase the idle a touch, felt like I was having to use to much choke for too long.
Cheers
J
