Right just a couple of questions, i'm kinda new to all this carby stuff. More at home with EFI really.
If i take the fuel line off the carbs, should i be getting a decent spray of fuel when cranked or does it kinda spurt gently?
How big is the reserve supply, I'm guessing this is just a second, lower, fuel pickup. Right?
Are there any particular weak points on the ignition side of these engines? i dont seem to be getting sparking at the plugs (when i sit one on the rocker cover) Do these lucas ignition coils brake down over time?
Mine seems to give a weak, intermittent spark when you stick a plug in the king lead. But a spare ignition coil from a 1989 BMW seemed to produce a fatter more consistent spark at the king lead, but again nothing when i connect it all up and try a plug lead.
Any suggestions, or info, hugely appreciated.
