Olde-Worlde Ignition Help

Note this section also (I have been on both US and British Virgin Islands, and was confused both times):

Caribbean

Most English-speaking Caribbean countries ? such as Barbados, Bermu da, Jamaica, St Kitts and Nevis, Grenada, and Trinidad and Tobago ? dri ve on the left and most local cars have a RHD configuration. Conversely, some rental cars are LHD because they are imported from the US. Some rental companies use LHD, others use RHD; it usually possible to ask in advance what configurations are available before agreeing on a vehicle.

However, in some islands, mostly Lesser Antilles (such as the British Virgin Islands, US Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, as well as Turks and Caicos Islands) and the Bahamas, most passenger cars are still LHD-equipped (despite driving on the left), being imported from the United States or Brazil. Only some government cars and those imported from RHD countries (Japan and the United Kingdom, among others) are RHD. The US Virgin Islands are particularly known for having a high accident rate caused by American tourists from the mainland who are unfamiliar with driving on the left in their LHD rental cars.

I'm surprised that the detail is a little sparse though, while does say that parts of Canada switched from driving on the left to the right in the 1920's there is no mention that Newfoundland drove on the left till after WW2. It changed shortly before it became part of Canada in 1949. That it was still a seperate state until then also probably falls into "you learn something every day" category for many. It could have become part of the US.

Well, the whole point of Wikipedia is that Joe Public can add information to it, so this looks like your chance to do just that.

It's now back together and running very nicely most of the time.

Apart from when it's under wide throttle openings and higher speeds - then it starts to stutter. If I back off, it clears.

Reckon it could be the fuel filter - it sat around for a while before coming over here, so I suppose it could be full of all kinds of crap.
