Hello gentlemen.
Just purchased an '82 SWB Series 3 petrol.
Unfortuneatly I'm really struggling to get her running correctly as she's now undriveable.
I've replaced the distributor, ht leads, coil, plugs and the little metal vaccuum pipe with a silicone one. But now she will not run at all on tickover without backfiring or stalling with any acceleration.
She is fitted with a Zenith carb, I've played with the tickover and the mixture, all done by the book. (haynes manual)
The dizzy was set up by the book too and with a strobe. I even got to the point where I was turning the dizzy by hand without the strobe with slight results but she still will not run correctly.
The distributor was a cheap aftermarket one from paddocks.
If anyone could point me in a better direction (not fitting a 200 engine) that would be wonderful.
Thankyou in "advance" (worried incase that's the problem)
