Curious. I've been having a problem with re-start after running the TR3 hard.
I've adjusted the valves, checked and rechecked the float valves, changed the
points and condenser (since these have been listed as potential issues when
they get hot), repositioned the heat guard over the manifold, and even finally
got around to installing the electric fan I've been putting off.
And I've readjusted the timing today. Not much, just backed off until it
bogged down a bit. Car seems to be even more responsive to throttle than
before but--bonus--a couple of test runs indicate it starts again easily. I
doubt I got it as hot as it could be, but was definitely operating temperature.
So...English Major question to all of you who actually work on cars outside the
spread of a shade tree...How touchy is timing relative to start up after
running? (I just remember on numerous occasions seeing big v-8's cranking,
cranking, cranking before finally starting, and someone telling me the timing
was off.)
