Listerati,
I am now almost at my wits end and considering TR arson or other forms of
destruction.
It still appears to be missing on No 3 as plug is sooty (powdery rather than
oily) while others are burning clean. I have;
Changed the condenser
cleaned and reset the points and timing
checked all HT leads for continuity
changed the spark plug
tried another coil
dismantled cleaned and reassembled carbs
replaced the earth wire between distributor and engine block
checked LT wires to coil for continuity while jiggling them around
checked fuel squirting out of pipe before carbs while turning engine over and
getting strong squirts
cheched compression which is the same on all cylinders
connected the No 3 plug lead to a plug resting on the rocker cover and it is
sparking
The only thing that I can now think of is there maybe an invisible crack in
the distributor cap. Is there a way of checking this of do you need to buy a
new one to see if that works?
Any other ideas?
TIA
Chris Buckley
