Yes, prob spelt it wrong...done 300 miles in my v8 88" before the problems started..
Driving down motorway, engine starts to cough, fart and lose power..if i take foot off accelerator and then gas her up, seems to get going again. sits fine in tick over..
Does 10 miles fine, then same prob, speed drops to 30mph on motorway...this continues for an hour..and I am so stressed..darent stop...dark and cold on hard shoulder is no fun
Today been out and one carb pot was very low on oil, the other ok...topped both up with 3 in 1 oil....seems to be ok, runs sweet again..
Question is, as i have never had a v8 before..after approx how many miles does the oil in the stromberg pots need filling up? Is it likely that that was the problem yesterday?
Now i'm not taking chance with it 2mrw, going to trailer it to from warwick to harwich as i HAVE to get the boat home...so any ideas for when i get home greatly appreciated...
