[TR] Fwd: RE: TR4A missing. The saga continues....

[wbeech]

I assume you have a stock mechanical fuel pump... About 2-3psi is all that
is needed, remember the pressure can't be so high as to force past the float
bowl check-valve.  I have not tried the distance test with my car but would
think it would not squirt more than a couple of feet, depends a lot on the
hose size.  
Speaking of which, have you check the float levels to be sure they are no
set too low?   

Have you swapped the HT leads between plugs?  Still #3?
Have you swapped plugs between cylinders? Still #3?

Have you checked for an intake manifold leak that could be throwing the
balance off?


You have an interesting problem, and a lot armchair mechanic's input, we are
all waiting to hear the solution in order to add it to the database of our
minds. :-)

    Hi Listers,
  I have now changed the dizzy cap and plug leads and the problem continues.
Now seems to be missing on 1 and 2.
  I am now back to thinking that the problem is fuel starvation and the fuel
pump is not delivering enough. If I hold my thumb over the end of the pipe
it is easy to stop the flow.
  So the question is how much pressure should it deliver? I do not have a
pressure guage so I need to know either how much pressure to exert with the
thumb or how far should the squirts go before hitting the ground? Any other
way to check?
  TIA
