HendrixsWhiteStratReturns Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Hi KevinYou 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 !!
