Is the timing set correctly? Could it be too retarded or maybe the dizzy has
the wrong advance curve. Check the timing, I think on a UK spec car it is
supposed to be 10 degrees BTC instead of 2 degrees ATC. This might be the
problem if the car goes like slug until about 2 to 2.5K RPMs.
Just a thought.
Once you get it sorted out the weber will be better than the ZS. Just
remember you might have more than one problem working to F' you up!
