[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 632370, member: 13810"] I’d start with a little bit of motor maintenance. First thing I’d look at is my valve clearances as that does sound a strong contender. Next I’d look at my points, not so much the gap but are they actually opening and closing. Condenser swap if you have one. Only junk your condenser when you are a hundred per cent sure it was the issue, then you can always re use it as a known good spare. Clean and gap plugs then use a large clear water bottle to check for fuel pump pressure / flow as that does sound a possibility but best to do that with a stone cold motor. The coil is also as mentioned ^^^ another suspect, but start with cold motor stuff like valves and fuel pressure / flow, and plugs before changing tooooo many things. Try your hardest not to get changing stuff Willy nilly so you can actually track exactly what is the ‘ cure ‘ for your motor. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,keep us in the loop bud :) [/QUOTE]
