When I last ran my Roadster, it was still not running right. I had set the
timing,
re- balanced the carbs, and fixed the fuel mixture**. After this, it seemed to
be running well pulling strong through all the gears with no ping or misses.
Then, at about 75 or 80 mph, it started to do the hesitation/miss thing again
it was doing last week (when I was about half way home from MidOhio -- I posted
about this as you might remember). Based on what I had read, I figured it was
running lean so I pulled off the road (a few times--this was last Sunday) and
each during each stop slowly adjusted the knobs and ended up just under a
quarter turn to richen the mixture. After the first and subsequent stops, it
was again spitting/bucking/running rough; too rich now I assume. I went home,
re-set the fuel mixture back to where it was above**. I was still not able to
get the spitting and bucking to stop.
At this point it was getting too hot for me, both under the hood, in my head,
as well as outside so I parked the car. This is where I am at and have not
looked at the car since last Sunday.
When I had checked/"fixed" the timing last week while in Indiana, I do not
think I had done it right: The timing light I was lent was of the fancy variety
with a setting knob that I must have not used correctly. When I used my light
at home, the timing was up over 30 degrees of advance. I am now set at 16
degrees on a de-smogged 70 1600 running a GB EI dizzy.
Any thoughts please.
Thanks
tim
