<div id="yiv2763030201">You may remember I asked recently
about the cracked head on my BN2. The consensus was get a
new one, which I have now done. So, Brand new Denis Welch
ally head now fitted. Bearing in mind the car was running
fine before ( the only noticeable issue was a weep from the
head gasket) you can imagine my frustration when after the
new head was fitted, it was running extremely rough and
missing intermittently. Not being sure if it was electrical
or fuel, I decided to look at fuel first - reason - the
carbs were way out because they had previously been set up
with one manifold drain open and one with the tube olive in
place. Must have been like that for years. So having fitted
both manifold drains properly, I got out the Colortune and
carbalancer and set to work. All great for a short run and
then missing again. Looked at the HT stuff. One HT plug cap
on number 4 loose on plug. Fixed but no improvement. Took
all the plugs out. Number 4 wet and looks like it's not
firing. Ohms check on number 4 plug - very low reading shows
insulation has broken down. Changed all four plugs for new
NGKs. Running better but still not happy at high revs.
Decided to fit new HT leads, condenser and points. While
doing so, inside the distributor, found two original cloth
covered wires, one which grounds the distributor base plate
and the other which provides LT from the coil to the live
side of the points, hanging by a thread from very poor
crimps. Replaced both with new wire, soldered or ring
crimped as necessary. At last! Sorted. I suppose I should be
grateful it never let me down all those years. But isn't it
funny how you fix something and a whole load of other
problems surface?
