Hi Ira =E2=80=93 fun, isn=E2=80=99t it!
Under the circumstances, check everything in the distributor =E2=80=93 =
carbon centre button, make sure that the spring is allowing the button =
to ride firmly on the rotor. Make sure that the rotor is not too close =
to the centre post on the cap =E2=80=93 ie; riding too high and lightly =
riding on the bakelite. Try another rotor =E2=80=93 a known good one. =
Check that there is no momentary grounding situation in the wiring both =
inside and outside of the cap. A couple of remote possibilities =
=E2=80=93 an intermittently faulty condenser or coil (or coil =
connections). Could even be the ignition switch, or the battery shut =
off switch.
You may still have a fuel problem, but you=E2=80=99ve got to fix the =
ignition problem in order to get there.
It is somewhat normal for these cars to lose idle quality in hot =
weather. You could have fuel percolating in a carb, float levels =
slightly off, a slightly leaking float needle as Mr. Salter says, air =
leaks =E2=80=93 any number of things. With HD8=E2=80=99s, the idle is =
set on the idle mixture bypass screw =E2=80=93 the throttle discs have =
to be fully closed at idle =E2=80=93 too fast an idle setting can mess =
things up. Lots of little things can be not quite right, and the engine =
will run just fine. By the time you get it all perfect, it will be time =
for another restoration!
Like I said =E2=80=93 always fun getting it all good after a full resto.
