Thanks for the ideas. To answer some of the questions/suggestions in one
note:
Dashpot oil - I've topped it up a few times since the rebuild was
completed and I started driving it regularly last summer and it's always
done this ever since. There is a VERY good possibility that the oil is
the wrong viscosity as I've just been using regular engine oil - 10w50 I
think. Gut feeling is that may be too thick, so the mix may be too lean
at first? I know there is "offical" dashpot oil available, don't know
why I haven't bought some. What else that I might find locally would be
suitable?
Springs - not really sure what's in there. Most likely whatever was
stock in '67 carbs.
Needle - again, stock for a '67 carb. Can't remember offhand which one
that is. Maybe need something richer at low RPMs?
Timing - possible something has moved, but was spot on when I set it
last summer. But maybe need a little tweaking with the (rather mild)
engine mods?
Thanks for the ideas!
