Rusty, finally got the distributor in last weekend THANKYOU!! :-D
Although I've set it up manually and am still waiting for proper timing with light to be done, it's obvious that unfortunately it didn't solve the issue
Plumbing in the electronic fuel pump this weekend, hoping that will do the trick.
Basically, it's dying when hot and running very grumbly at tickover, which eventually just worsens until it stops. When up to temperature, it won't even start. The only thing I can see that's different is that the plastic fuel filter is not filling up to the same level as it used to, hence the fuel pump replacement. So far, I've taken out the electronic ignition, replaced the distributor, put electronic ignition back in, had the carb stripped down and properly cleaned out and intend to fiddle more with the idle mixture screw, cleaned all the fuel filters along the line, replaced the coil, tested the thermostat although not officially in hot water, may do that tomorrow... It is officially P*SSING ME OFF now, must admit!
Haven't been able to use it as my daily for months and the last time it was used was heading up a funeral procession in early Feb (short journey!).
As for the charity idea, I really like that, will put that idea over on the Slovakia thread once I pick a charity. Thanks for that!
