It could be the leads crossfiring too - that was my problem (many years ago) when I fitted a DIY electronic ignition assist. Looking at in in the dark might help? New leads sorted it for me.

General Technical / Re: How to store an FC for about 10 years

Thanks to all for the useful technical tips. Btw, it a her, not an it.
> Paul In Ireland said Take it with you?
Paul, I assume you did take yours. I'm looking at the States where the side of the road they drive on is an issue.
(And salt in the winter snow might do bad things to her)
> FC0058 (Jim) said I will store it for you, but do not know if you will get it back
Jim, I'm half inclined to gift her to a worthy someone - on the grounds I get visiting rights.
> Jasonr70002 said ...diff oil in the gearbox...
Jason, why would differential oil make a difference?
Thanks again
Richard

I had this happen all of a sudden when the brake return spring fell off (the top of the pedal). Maybe your spring is fatiged and needs replacing?

General Technical / How to store an FC for about 10 years
May 01, 2010, 01:58:13 PM
Hi,
I've just received a rather nice overseas job offer, and I'd like to store my FC, which has been in the family since new (I've had is 30 years, Dad has it for 10 and Grandpa had is first) so I can restore it when I retire. The kids (now young adults) are not getting her - at least for some years. What are the best ways to store the old girl. I've trying to get a clean dry shed somewhere in suburbia. It could be for up to ten years.
She doesn't have much rust (Always been garaged)
Put her on Blocks is obvious? Should I drain the brake fluid? Should I overfill the sump. Should I get the engine turned over occasionally? Any tips
Thanks

Modification Help / Oversized front sway bay - how to enlarge rubber bushing hole?
April 25, 2010, 01:38:36 PM
Hi,
I'm trying to refit an oversized front sway bar (KMAC, originally orange) to my FC. When I installed in 30 years ago, it came with oversized rubber bushes - that is the hole was oversized to suit the bigger bar diameter. The bushes hold it to the subframe. The originals are now quite badly deteriorated. The new ones I purchased from Rare Spares (SBMK01), of course are regular sized.
Is there any good trick any one has to ream out a rubber bushing hole?
