Had another look at my p38 since I put the plug leads on the right way and still doesn't sound right to me. I went out and it started first time, I thought mint it's improved. So I left it running abit, it was idling about 600rpm, bit of condensation out the exhaust which is as expected from its first start up for a couple of months. Then the rev needle started fluctuating only within a couple of rpm each side of 600rpm. So I thought I'll blip the throttle just to see if it will pick up, and it cut out. Started first crack and it started kicking out black smoke like it used to. If you blip it then rev it , it will pick up and you can hold the revs on all the way round, it just seems abit hesitant on initial pressing of the throttle. Haven't tried it in gear yet, but I'm 70% sure it will cut out when gears are selected. Anyone come across this problem with theirs? Doesn't seem as bad as it was before I took the heads off to check them and disconnected the gas system.
