Hi any help on my problems would be very helpful, car is rover p6 2000 tc, generally speaking the car runs well, however just lately when starting from cold it wants to initially idle at about 1500 rpm, this only lasts for a few minuets till it has warmed up slightly then the revs will drop to a normal steady 800. and starts after the initial start from cold are fine. it feels just like a more modern car with a auto choke.
recent work on car includes complete overhaul of carbs, valves, and valve gaps, and new electronic dizzy.
on checking the plugs i was quite surprised at the colour ( red insulators, see pictures) the exhaust is a nice grey/ black colour with no sooty deposits.
car starts, drives nicely with no pinking, or running on, when i set the ignition timing at 6 btdc it was not happy, by advancing it about 1cem past the 6 point it runs much better, sorry about a bit of rambling on but its hard to explain.
