    Engine ‘cough’

    Hi. I have a standard 1600 with vacuum. Starts good and ticks over lovely but if you go for a sharp throttle press it fully dies if you let it. Lift off and ticks over fine. Gentle acceleration is ok, just a quicker press can kill it. Standard points and condenser, fairly recently replaced & set...

    Ignition barrel removal

    If I could jump on this thread… When starting, the final turn of the key doesn’t always start the ignition. When it does, it seems to be that the key has to be turned as far as possible. Is this the starter motor or something in the ignition barrel? I’ve not attempted to take anything apart...

    Reconditioned carbs/distributors

    I’m looking for someone selling reconditioned genuine solex carbs. Also reconditioned Bosch distributors. Or someone who reconditions them close to Sheffield. I’ve been recommended to look at a Weber carb to replace the standard solex, but not sure what or where to look. Any info appreciated.

    Engine question…

    HT cables are fine. Has had new points and condenser and setup ok. I got an old Bosch one from Stanford Hall that needs a general clean up. Only difference is hole in side for the connector is square rather than semi circular. It’s weird as doesn’t feel like a misfire, just gently nods your...

    Engine question…

    Hard to describe, but what could be causing a jerking sensation when driving, eg every second? Not so noticeable when accelerating, but say if cruising with slight accelerator it’s a general jerking in time to the engine? All clearances set, new points and condenser and plugs and all tuned.

    So should green light should be on when main beam on? On for sides then off for main. Blue for full beam. Where does it connect to, fuse box?

    Quick wiring question

    I have a blue & white striped spade terminal wire hanging in the cab by fuse box. Can see on wiring diagram it comes from light switch. Nothing isn't working, but what should it do?
