Running on 2 - Help!
Hello Dubbers,
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

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

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