I'm a relatively new TR6 owner (last year) and need some advice. The car
developed a slight miss last month so I checked the points, rotor, plugs,
etc and everything looked good. I then cleaned the fuel filter and still, I
had just a slight miss. Checked the timing and it was good. I then checked
the dashpot oil and noticed one was low. I had asked the PO what type oil
he used and it was simply Castrol GTX 20W50. I added oil to the dashpot and
now I really have problems. The car runs great when COLD. Accelerates well
and no miss...however, when it gets to operating temp it begins to cut-out
and idles very rough. I can't get the idle below 1200RPM without killing
the engine. It's practically non-drivable when warm. Also, the retard is
very slow.
Any thoughts? I haven't adjusted the carbs yet as I've heard the horror
stories. I have purchased an air flow meter and the Gunson's ColorTune.
However, before I start tuning the carbs should I look for something else?
Help...the weather is beautiful and I'm stuck the garage!!!!!!
