I picked up my 67 yesterday that has been away having shiney new paint applied and now it is only running on 2 cylinders, the right pair are not doing a thing. It was running fine 6-7 weeks ago.
I have pulled the plugs and they are sotty but there was no change after I cleaned them up, I've added fresh fuel etc but it still runs like a dog.
Any ideas? At least it's pretty now....
Cheers,
Kevin

just check the base tune points, timing, make sure choke not stuck.

Hi Ian,
It all seems fine, choke turns off after it warms up and the points are like new.
Is it worth buying some new plugs?
Cheers,
Kevin

start the engine and pull of 1 plug lead on the ones not going and see if a spark jumps across the gap,or change dizzy cap

I pulled the lead off the dizzy and it give a big fat spark. Does that mean the plugs are the trouble?

yeah change the plugs as they are cheap or change em to the other 2 and see if those 2 cylinder start missing.😊
