11AC Alternator problems

So it was left in today he said it was running too rich and he reduced the mixture a tad. She is now driving like a dog and stalling. Have to pump the accelerator to get her to move from stationary. She did 200 miles last weekend so would guess the electronic ignition hasn't been damaged by the dodgy earth ?

Have the spindles and spindle bushes in the carb been inspected? Sounds like a vacuum leak through the spindles to me.

Might have been better to leave it alone and live with the ignition light coming on at idle.
I think all the problems you are experiencing now have been caused by the work you've just had done.

Agreed ! This firm has tuned her before after having rebuilt the AED and had done a brilliant job. I am too much of a perfectionist when it comes to the car.

Apparently a sticking piston in carbs. Drive back from the garage she was fine no issues but it's a short drive. I will take her a longer spin when I have the time see if the issues are resolved.
