bis tuning

[126redbomb]

I am starting to loose my rag with the little one!   I've had help with the timing (Thanks pete) but the little one is still popping and loosing power.  If I advance the timing it revs like mad! But still no joy.  I'm at a loss
How do I tune this son of a ferrari!
How can you tell what RPM the engines doing when thre is no rev counter?
HELP I'M FED UP.  If I can't get it sorted I am gonna have to take it to the garage to get it sorted once and for all.

Could it be vacuum problems, or a blockage in the fuel return, or loose butterfly in the carb, or dodgy wires somewhere?

oooooh you've narrowed it down then
I think I might shoot myself
Thanks for your help.
I was hoping you was going to say, oh just turn this and away you go.  But thats too easy

Does it pop at low or high revs, when moving off, or slowing down?

I think that popping at low revs mean it is running lean so change fuel filters, check fuel lines, check fuel pump, if they don't work, clean the carb.

Thanks Hazey, I will take it all on board.  
I put a new grub screw in the condensor because the other one was to long, it was touching the vac arm (this could be one problem sorted). 
I have re-done the timing and I think its ok
Pete said I should try a squirt of carb cleaner at the base of the carb, to see if it will rev faster and if so then there could be a leak. (Pete correct me if this doesn't sound right).
I will keep you posted.
