FIXED !!!!! - Xflow - misfiring/uneven running when hot (still happening)


Recommended Posts

Hi Kevin

You have my deepest sympathy - it damned near drove me around the bend ! To answer your question YES the car is definitely now sorted and the fact that it is is down to James Whiting ( but Paul Deslandes was also very helpful getting the car going initially).

Probably several smaller issues (old carbs / cold start elimination 'choke', failing coil) masked the main problem of a failing ignitor in the Aldon  dizzie.

Also I changed plugs. Like many I ran B8ECS which sooted up frequently. James said that they were really recommended for track use = 7,000 / 8,000 rpm at full throttle continuously, no idling or cruising  and so with road use they never got hot enough except on very long runs.

On James' advice I fitted NGK BPR6EIX plugs - not cheap but I have NO fouling issues and car has been A1 (that's jinxed it!!) 

good luck !!
