Have fitted a rebored 2200 block to my 71, 2000TC. To this, I have fitted the original 2000TC head and refurbished HIF6 carburettors. On first start up I had to churn the engine on the starter as it missed and backfired until it eventually picked up, and I was able to release the starter.
The engine sounds very rough as though there is a plug missing, lots of vibration, a backfire say every twenty seconds or so, and runs on for a few seconds when I switch off.
The carbs definitely need tuning, but would this cause the engine to run so erratically.?
I have started the car from cold a couple of times with exactly the same problems. The car starts at first attempt when warm, but continues to run roughly.
I fitted new large inlet manifold "0" rings but it is definitely pulling air.
I obviously need to rectify the manifold airleak, but do I also have problems elsewhere?I
