- Some suggestions: 1. Is there oil in the dashpot? 2. Wrong oil in the dashpot (use light oil) 3. Fuel/air mixture too lean (wrong carb needle?) - as you mentioned 4. Over-advanced timing JLC The pati

- Check the dashpot oil, and make sure it's topped up in each carb, and of the correct viscosity. Howard Collins 60' AH Sprite 69' Austin Cooper S Va. Bch., Va.

- I have a question that is related to dashpot oil. If the inclusion of dashpot oil is so important why did so many racers not run any in their race cars? I have just wondered that for a while. Thanks,
