to all
I just went through my 74 TR6 and replaced all the fittings in a effort
to better tune my car. I am still having problems not being sure it is
the vacumn or the carb set up. I think now I am into replacing
the vac acdvance since when I disconnect the hose there is no if any
change in the running of the engine.
HELP here!!!
I have converted over to a mangnetic pickup electronic ignition.
with the above issues (vacumn and carb) when I start out the car
seems to hesitate, misfire, cough, spit and sputter before taking
off; when running down the freeway there is a sence of cutting out.
I am not sure if it is the carb or electronic ignition.
any ideas.
