Hi All,
A bit of a return from the wilderness for me.
After a few years away from the forum due to child, work, life etc., I come with cap in hand looking for advice.
A quick refresher: Neil's the name, living in Australia, driving a 1976 P6B. The car is a daily, reliable runner and never lets me down................. until now!!!
Car was running relatively fine but due for a service. When I checked the points they were so badly burned out that there was nothing left of the contacts!! Despite this the car was still starting and stopping and everything in between.
Decided to fit electronic ignition system instead of points.
The car then ran like a bag of bolts. Horrible idle, no power, stalling etc.
Since then I have checked timing, replaced plugs/leads/coil, had the carbs off (cleaned/checked/reset), tried another set of carbs and still can't get the car to run right!
What could I be missing?
Next step is the fuel pump (a few years old but I think it's OK).
All suggestions gratefully accepted.
