As a father's day gift to myself, I worked on the Spitfire yesterday. I
replaced the radiator with one I bought from E-Bay and went to get the thing
started. Well, I got it running and it is "seeking" It will "idle" from
about 1500 rpm to 500 rpm and rhythmically fluctuated between these points.
I know the problems in the carbs (Twin 1.5" S.U.'s) and I would like to
shorten the tuning process by eliminating any excess steps.
BTW, I used my "new" Suntune digital engine analyzer for the first time. I
bought it about 3.5 yrs ago when they were closing them out at a
ridiculously low price. Dwell angle was 43 to 47 degrees.
