Plugs? Plug wires? Distributor cap? Kinda doubt those diagnoses could be
made over the phone. Also, no mention that it was misfiring, just
mis-accelerating. This would point to the carb side of the picture.
Probably something really stupid, like a hose or a filter, or the
accelerator cable.
Eleven years ago, eh? My money says that was at the beginning of your MGB
experience, and you were somewhat naive to the workings of the Z-S carb.
Before your trip you performed all the usual tune-up things, including
hosing the carb with cleaner. Your carb diaphragm developed a tear which
rapidly got worse.
We consult the Moss catalog for confirmation.
