[TR] hunting and popping

[wbeech]

John,

Round up the usual suspects:
1. I would first check my point gap, before and after starting and warming
up.
2. Timing & advance mechanism
3. Air leaks around the carbs
4. Coil and condenser 
5. Compression and re-check Valve clearance

Hi all, making decent progress on the TR2, with regular start-ups, although
no actual driving yet. Having a few problems getting even running, the
engine tends to pop and bang a bit with the odd backfire through the carb,
once warm it runs better. Any guidance on sequence for getting things to run
smoothly?
Regards
John
