Hi all, left work to drive home tonight and the engine got really lumpy on idle, then when accelerating the engine dies and it startes bucking only while in gear and trying to drive. I got home left it a couple of hours went back out, still misfiring, I did notice that if I rest my foot on the accelerator pedal the misfire got really bad, then it cut out, started it back up and went for a drive and now its smooth again like nothings wrong, it's done this 2 or 3 times now recently then goes back to being fine, its had a new fuel filter, fuel pump and the carb has been set up (weber) I've replaced all the vac hoses and checked for splits in the carb mount, all fine. I've unseized the flap in the air box and made sure its all working (it is) I've replaced the heat pipe from the manifold, changed the plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm.
I've looked all over the net and just can't find the exact same problem I'm getting, I haven't changed the distributor or coil but it isn't getting hot at all only warm, I haven't changed the swirl pot! Any help is greatly appreciated 🙏
Turns out it was the ignition switch and headlight switch, basically there's a short in the headlight switch which melted the X terminal on the ignition switch, both on order so hopefully sorted.
Hi everyone, I need some help, my problem started last night when I got home, all the electrics were working as normal, I had headlights, wipers, heater, main beam, I switched the car off, went back to it 5 mins later and it has no headlights only side and flash, no heater, although it did come on briefly when I flashed the main beam, no wipers or washers. With the ignition off and headlight switch on I have dash lights, switch the headlights on and ignition on and the main beam light lights up blue on the dash and the instrument cluster lights go out
I've checked all fuses, none blown, checked all the earth points, waiting on a new relay and time to fit a new ignition switch.
