Hi all.
I did some work to my Comet a month or so ago, now the weather is better i went out on it last week, and was really disappointed!
Ive renewed the ATD, fitted a new cam spindle and exhaust rocker spindle, cleaned out the carb, cleaned and set points etc.
It starts well, 2nd kick, and revs OK but its backfiring through the exhaust (real flames!) and on medium throttle it hesitates/hunts, but its actually quicker than its ever been, plus the fuel consumption is terrible...
Ive re-checked the carburettor this morning as i thought it was fuel related, and removed the plug. The plug is black and looks really coked up. I set the timing static at TDC, points just beginning to open (full retard/starting position).
Any ideas????
Yours hopefully,
Steve.
