Not sure what happened about misfiring on No3, maybe that was sorted when I
replaced plug leads.
Finally narrowed the problem down to carbs. During the second removal of the
carbs I noticed that the inside of the head ports was wet on 1 and 2 and dry on
3 and 4..... it turned out that the choke linkage between the 2 carbs had
slipped and the front carb was running with choke open so (I guess) flooding 1
and 2 (although the plugs looked healthy).
Anyway she is now purring like a kitten (after all the tuning and setting of
gaps, timing etc) and we are getting ready for the trip to Nairobi Concours
next week.
When I get the time, I intend to put together a "misfiring check list" in the
meanwhile, a big thank you to all listers who provided assistance in finding
the gremlin.
Cheers,
Chris (discarded-the-matches) Buckley
