Hi guys,?
?
Yesterday, we drove the just under 300 miles to Stowe , Vermont in
the TR4A with it "sputtering" just about all the way. Power on the
hills was very poor where normally pushing on the accelerator
increases the speed easily. Arriving in Vermont, the rear bumper was
covered in a blue haze which was not oily. ...
?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Inline fuel filter plugging up, or dirt in the float bowls or elsewhere?
Certainly, ignition is where I usually look first for such problems, but that
would be the second place I'd look. I don't know about bad 11-year-old plug
wires, but I've got some original 45-year-old plug wires that still work pretty
darned well. But then, "they don't make 'em like they used to...." :-)
