Died.

:O..

Come out of the carwash, n the motor refused to start.

waited about thirty minutes, and tried again a couple of times. still nothing.

so instead of leaving it in the petrol station for the night, I rung the Rac (mayerswell I pay for it.)

after a bit, he got it started.

He just had to clean the carb a bit and prevent the choke from being allways on.

But on the way home the car felt like it was missing a lot, 'Kangarooing' down the road and I kept on having to change down the gears and really rev the engine to stop it?

did he wedge the choke flap open ?
has your car got points ?

spray a hefty amount of wd 40 inside the dizzy cap.

Yeah i'd say it's electrical/dizzy related. Check the seal on the dizzy cap isn't perished, or the cap itself isn't loose.

 

[Littlewood]

WD40'd the distribution cap, have cleaned the points, the choke flap was open yes but the guy from RAC sorted that.

Gonna swap the plugs now :upside:.

New plugs, thoroughly cleaned HD leads and distributor cap.

Now she's running like a charm!

HT leads

I was gonna suggest changing those if you still had problems. Mine caused me similar problems until i got Magnecor ones

Will you be going back to the Carwash to see if it does it again?
