After many short trips 10 =E2=80=93 15 miles etc... the engine started to r=

no throttle response.
Cranked but would not start..Appeared to have spark at the coil wire..
Affer cooling started out again=E2=80=A6after 20 odd miles stopped with the=
same symptoms=E2=80=A6 pulling choke seemed to make no difference.
Could not hear fuel pump ticking but had fuel pressure at the front carb=

Found =E2=80=9C3 cut=E2=80=9D washers under the carb float chamber struts w=

Next day, today, I headed out for another extended drive and the car ran pe=

Tested the coil 4.6 ohms with no short to ground. Took off the float chambe=
r lids and both were full to the correct level. The engine cranked but woul=

After checking everything I could think of I believe that I have found the =
problem but I don=E2=80=99t have time to do another 36 mile test before loa=

What do you think I found?

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
