I couldn't leave well enought alone and decided to try to get my 78 Spitfire
to run a little better. The car has a set of dual SU HS2, all I wanted to do
was to adjust the mixture setting. It was running pretty good but just a little
too rich. Is started to adjust the mixture and it started to miss, things just
kept on getting worst and worst. I give up and changed to a new set of plugs,
that got the car to running without any miss. So, I continue to adjust the
carbs somemore and the same thing happen.
After about 1 hour of trying to get the car to run without miss I gave up. I
figure there must be something that was on the edge of failure and this pushed
it over. Now, I have a new set of wires, rotor, dist. cap and a Lucas Sports
coil. I thought it was the coil going on me but with all these new parts
the car still run very rought and it is not running on all cylinders. Does
anyone have any idea what might be wrong. I didn't touch the timming but
while I was waiting for the parts I adjusted the valves. Any suggestion
will be very welcome.
Help me please :(.
