I am a very proud, new owner of a '72 Lightweight, petrol 24v. Huzzah. Only problem is I'm just learning how much car stuff I don't know, so I will apologise once in advance for the flood to come :)
She's just back from the fixers after an interesting electrical saga, and she was timed. Only problem now is that if I try going off road (unmade track, nothing major) in low box she kangaroos. It's as if power needs to build up, pushes through and then needs to build again. Ends up I have to go into high 2nd and hold on for dear life as we have to go along at about 10mph. On the road once she's going seems fine and very smooth. Before the problem I could leave in 2nd or 3rd Low and let her chug along merrily with no throttle.
Is this just a tuning problem, something to start saving for or something simple like the doohicky in the flange drive needs plugging in? It could be that she is actually running properly, and wasn't before, but would be nice to know it's my fault and lack of knowledge :)
Cheers in advance
