[TR] Flat spots?

[Wbeech]

First thing I would look at would be the oil in the carb dashpots.  If there
is none, it will allow the needle to lift too rapidly and cause an
unnecessarily rich mixture, and your described 'flat spots'.

Second, with a timing light, be sure the advance it advancing and retracting
the spark timing.

Subject: [TR] Flat spots?

Christmas drive in the TR2, 6C, dry engine fully warmed, but I am getting
flat spots in all gears when I push the go pedal, if I back off and feed
fuel slowly it picks up and drives fine. What are the usual suspects for
this, very annoying symptom?
Happy holidays to all
