OK, here's what I've changed:
New plugs (NGK BP6HS), bumble bee wires, rotor, distributor cap.
Re-cleaned piston rods in carbs.
Front and back carb jets set at 13 and 14 flats down.
Now, all plugs are showing a white deposit after a run despite showing a yellow
flame (Colourtune) at idle.
I'm pretty sure there is no air leak anywhere so I think I"m left with a carb
rebuild. I'll check the appearance of the coolant in the block before I do
that.
Bummed about missing out on the good weather but I shouldn't complain - at
least I didn't burn a hole in a piston.
I'll piddle about with the carbs later today (- would sticking float valves be
a possibility?)
Anyways, I'll get back when/if I find anything interesting.
Thanks for the wire suggestions - I'll be ordering up some Magnecors.
Cheers, Adrian TS58325
