Hi all,
It's a 1986 110 3.5 V8 on carbs. Since fixing the exhaust and having the cam replaced by Badger, it generally runs like a dream (and sounds fantastic!). On a trip to Edinburgh on Monday (about 150 miles each way) I noticed that on long uphill stretches if I kept my right foot down too far it started to kind of cough, sounding like it would if the choke is kept out too long. This is doing about 50-60 so difficult to hear exactly. If I ease off on the accelerator it recovers and happily continues up the hill, but a bit slower. I made some tests on the way home:- It will happily pull from less than 30mph in 5th (on the flat), It will rev easily if I hold off changing up, while keeping up with someone off the lights etc. It copes well with short hills in 5th, Will happily do over 75 on the flat / downhill,
So any idea? could it be running a bit rich? It has the short fat round carbs not the tall thin round ones, can't remember which is which.
Cheers, Andrew
