taking off or driving under around 3000rpm car has no power and struggles up hills or even move but over 3000rpm it runs like a dream... this happens around 90% of the time engine rebuilt this year 1275 bored to 1342 1"3/4 carby new spark plugs this week any ideas? |

starting its not really a problem hot or cold, a little harder when cold (mainl 530am haha)...but driving last week it seemed to be 'spitting and coughing' worse as it got hotter.. its just difficult when its not a continuous problem..last week under 3000rpm it ran better then over 3000rpm then replaced the points now it only runs over 3000rpm yet for a while 2day it ran alrite under 3000rpm |

They may have closed up/adjusted themselves though. Worth checking the gap just to be sure. Cheers, Dicko |
