Morning all! I would love some advice on the issue I encountered this
morning.
I was zipping along in my TR250 in third gear enjoying a crisp morning
and a drive through the park. All of a sudden, the car lost a lot of
power. I slowed down and down-shifted into second gear, and continued
to feel the loss of power. I pushed the gas pedal and it didn't really
help, and I was losing power on the road, so I pulled out the choke and
she roared back to life. I pulled over, let her idle a bit with the
choke open, and then pushed the choke back and let her idle for a few
minutes. She tends to idle fast anyway (I know, I know -- I need to fix
this. I'm sure I'm fouling the plugs), so I took the time to crank the
idle speed down while I waited and contemplated.
I hopped back in the car and drove to the office with no problems at
all. Not sure what this is, though my Healey did it once on a very hot
day in July. Clogged fuel line? Carbs out of sync?
