I aplogize in advance for the cross post if any of you have already seen this
at the MG Cars BBS.
I took my B out for a drive today, its absolutely beautiful in central OH, only
to have a new problem arise.
Quick run down of the problem: when I go to accelerate the car misses badly,
sounds like it wants to die, until about 2500-3000 RPM and then smoothes out
again. After that when I am up to speed no more problem. When I got home I
pulled the car in the garage and shut it down for about 5 minutes to visually
check that nothing had worked its way loose; ie spark plug wires, wires to
coil, etc. When I went to restart it and had to use the choke to get it to
start? The last time that I had a problem similar was before I replaced a bad
distributor cap, but does a distributor cap just go bad?
The car is a '73 B with emissions removed and a Pertronix kit. I haven't done
anything recently except replace the distributor rotor button a few weeks ago.
I am wondering if it might be a clogged fuel filter??
Any advice will be appreciated as I am sure that it is something simple that I
am missing.
Thanks in advance,
Zach
