Hey Andy,
1. Heat
2. Something is stuck in your idle control circuits
3. Make sure the acceleration pump is working and does not have a hole in it
4. Power valve blown out/leaking
Are you running a Autolite or Holley?

Subject: [Tigers] Stumbling issue
Hey, guys:
Just got my Tiger out of hibernation; it's been sitting since Christmas (I
know, I know...stupid me...). My wife and I took it out to get some
exercise
and it was running great. However, about seven miles into the run, it
started
stumbling at low rpm under an acceleration load. The further we drove, the
worse it got. It finally did die on me once; however, it did start back up
after a minute of sitting there on the side of the road. On the way back
home, it continued stumbling and missing erratically at low rpm (anything
under about 2K). I found that if I wound it up past that, it would smooth
out
and run okay, though. Once we got it home, I pulled it into the shop and
raised the hood. As I was trying to get the air cleaner off, it started to
die. Even flipping the throttle linkage on the side of the carb couldn't
save
it and it died again. Then, once again, after a minute if fired right back
up
no problem.
I hate problems like this because they can sometimes be a real pain in the
a$$
to track down. Does anybody have any ideas of where I should start? Fuel?
Electrical?
Thanks in advance,
Andy Walker
