[QUOTE="Raggles, post: 521424, member: 20996"] Hi Gvee, thanks for responding. Fuel lines are all pretty new .... I put new on over the summer. Filter is now 10 months old .... would it be due a change (± 5000 miles) ?. There seems to be differing opinions about the position of the fuel filter - mine was put there by one reputable specialist garage and ok'd by another. What would be the issues as installed apart from being in the engine bay? It sounds from what both of you are saying that the problem could be fuel starvation - makes sense .... I will look to give the carb a good cleaning. Any other thoughts / suggestions gratefully received. One thing I noticed on the electronic ignition distributor cap was that the central spring loaded rod that is located in the top of a traditional cap beneath the coil feed is flush with the top of the housing with no movement .... does anyone know if that is correct? The cap certainly isn't interchangeable with my old 009 unit. Tim [/QUOTE]
