Or just bad gas?
As I wrote yesterday, I drove to the airport in the MG. Before I left
town, I filled the tank. The car would spit at cruise occasionally,
worse at 55-60. At 65, it ran perfectly, so I just went a little over
the speed limit for the 70 mile trip.
Just a quick flight to Seattle, watch the Sounders beat Dallas, and
return the same night (almost missed the return flight, but that's
irrelevant).
Anyway, when I got back to Spokane at midnight, it was 350 and
frosty. The spitting issue was much worse coming home. Essentially,
after a half-mile of steady speed cruising, she would start this pop-
pop-pop shutter. If I were climbing a hill, or accelerating
moderately, no problems. I've recently set the timing and set the
carbs.
The archives have one similar account, from 1999:

Unfortunately, in my tired state, I was concentrating so hard on the
road in front of me, I didn't think of using the choke to see if the
problem eases.
So, this sort of thing... is it normally from too much gas or not
enough?
