You will have to provide some more information to fully access your
problem.
 
Do you still have all the original plumbing hooked up and intact?
 
What condition is the retard vacuum in on the dizzy? Disconnect it and plug
it to see if there is a difference.
 
Off the top of my head for a start there
are two things to check. First see if you can pull air through the carbon
canister going back to the fuel tank.
Second, pop the tops off the carb bodies
and see if you have any pin holes or small tears in the diaphams had open up
when warm.

Hi all,
I have been having a fairly constant problem with
my 74 TR6. The car
starts from cold well and runs great but once it is fully
warm it does not
like to idle. If I pull up to a stop light after the car is
fully warmed up,
the idle will slowly drop and the car will stall. It seems to
be worse after I
stop for a short period of time and then begin driving
again.  I am not sure
if it is fuel or electrical. It is running stock carbs
and a 20 year old Lucas
Sports Coil. I also recently added one of the carb
heat shields which seemed
to have no effect. It does have electronic ignition.
The carbs were rebuilt 15
+years ago and I have not touched them since. In
every other way the car runs
great. I would love to send the carbs off of be
completely rebuilt and
polished by Paltech and hope to do that over the
winter,  but would like to
see if the list thinks this may be related to
something else that I can try to
fix.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Robert
