Series 2 Misfiring again

Hiya folks. I’ve had my Series 2A petrol for years, and know most of its quirks. But without warning, while pooling along in the middle of a field, it started misfiring. Nursed itback home, all downhill. It starts fine, idles fine, but stutters as soon as I press the throttle. I’ve replaced the dizzy cap, rotor arm, HT leads, and coil (I keep a spare set, no fool me...), but to no avail. Any ideas? Help!

Clean out carb could be blocked jet

Will do. Never thought it could be the fuel supply, good idea.

Are the tappets adjusted properly? And have you changed the condenser, even if you have, change it again. I switched to an electronic ignition module in my series. I was having the same symtoms as you despite changing all the electrical bits. Since putti I g the electronic ignition in, no more problems.

Not the tappets, definitely, but I may take up the electronic ignition point, and fix it for good. John Craddock should have them. Thanks

You won't regret it. I got so fed up fiddling with my point settings. I don't remember it being that bad in the 70's when everything had points.

Better check if there is a blocked jet first, though.
