Help!!
I had to replace the side plate gasket on my grey motor, this also involved removing the distributer. When the dizzy was replaced I tuned the car "by ear" however I soon found that it would not start once the engine was hot, so I checked the workshop manual and tuned the motor by the book - Timing ball on ring gear aligned with indicator mark, using a timing light (Points set to 0.015).
The car sounds great and revs well when it is stationary, however it loses total power when under load.
I have replaced the points then the coil and finally put in another dizzy all to no avail. Leads are near new as are the plugs - wiring looks OK - can't see any sparks coming off leads.
Is there a possibility that the fly wheel can be misaligned with the index mark?
Or could the carby have broken down??
Can anyone help
Regards
Andy
