These could possibly be some symptoms of fuel percolation. Was the weather =
warm? I've experienced the same thing on my TR6 in hot weather, and in addi=
tion I've also been able to start it only to have it sputter for 5 or 10 se=
conds a minute or 2 after I've started off after which it runs normally. If=
this is the case it can be somewhat alleviated by using a heat shield to p=
rotect the carb bowls from the high exhaust manifold temperatures.
Cheers,
Dave
