Well as some of you may have seen in my other post
http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/more-problems-my-classic-hell-81761.html
I had seome idling problems and missing on the over-run and most annoyingly only 7 cylinders for a mile in the morning.
I took out the stepper cleaned it and the idling problem is much better and the overun problem was only noticable when revved hard-ish in neutral.
I have done all the service items, as I said before but the new plugs are as coked up as the old ones, (which also had done 1000 miles) which have only done a thousand miles max.
some are only coked up on one side, and one plug looked ok for 6000 miles but not 1000. They are all black with coke, two were a little petroly. I have cleaned the old ones and put them back and it runs well at the mo.
Took it to the garage when I first got it and they said emmisions were spot on and petrol smell was a fuel leak(sorted) so not running rich.
In my old post, I asked if there should be a vacume hose on both sided of the advance and retard and told only one side, which side? as thers a nipple on both.
I was also told if I can suck through pipe then unit is shot, I can suck through with engine off so , do I need to replace vacume unit? can you buy it seperate from dizzy? and will this cause coke-ing of plugs?
If not what else is causing it? It does seem to use too much fuel but then its the 3.9 v8 pulling 21/2 tonnes of classic rangie so I thought it might lol
Sorry about the war and peace length post , just wanted you experts to have all the facts.
Many thanks
John.
