>From your description I would suspect the coil or capacitor.
Try replacing the capacitor first cause its cheap! Your coil should read
about 1.2 ohms across the terminal, but I have had coils test OK but fail
under load. I would reccommend the Lucas Sports coil with a 12 v hookup

Subject: TR-6 QUESTIONS

Ok, I've been driving my TR-6 for a while now and have some questions.
Can anybody answer these?
I,ve got wire wheels from the PO. Recently two went flat from leaks
at the valve stem. Has anybody experienced this? Is this one of the
common problems with wires?
Also I've got a high speed miss in the engine. All the ignition parts
are new Lucas pieces with new TRF green wires. My engine, a 1975 has
the air pump sealed off, but the EGR valve is functional. Point dwell
is 36 degrees. Timing is 4 degrees ATDC with the distributor
retard/advance unit connected. Fuel system looks ok. I've rebuilt
the carbs. Any suggestions on this?
How critical is the carb float level setting? I might have been off a
bit (1 maybe 2mm.) when I set the float level. I suspect the needle
valves may be closing a bit early. Could the carbs have fuel
starvation?
Also, the coil looks original. Any suggestions on testing it?
Do I have to live with this?
Thanks in advance
