in at Croydon

If you're having issues with hesitation it could be your carb.

If you're in Croydon you're real close to

Steve,

RE post 17, I did go to BURWOOD and the guys changed the plugs and tuned the carbie. Also got the same advice as you RE 98 vs 95, and manufacturers. Ill take this on board and see on the next few drive what changing fuels and supplier makes.

Many thanks

Hi,
First run sine last post. I ran Caltex 95, to start with all went well, no pinging.

But after 50ks there was significant hesitation.

With the plug replaced and the carbie serviced recently, its time to address the magneto. Ill try the guys at Arncliffe and see if they can help.

I'm thinking this will be an awesome car once this is resolved.

Many thanks for the advice.
