Slight juddering on overrun
Loking for ideas as Ive changed just about everything now.
RST(KE jet). It does everything as it should. Warms up nice and slowly lowers revs etc. Mixture is set at 3%. It runs lovely with no issues at all apart from overun below 2000 revs you can just feel slight juddering. Also, when warm on tickover it ticks over smooth but does the odd little 'pop'. I can get it to tick over loads better, really smooth with no pops if I retard the timing a little, but then its set at less than 12 deg, more like 10.
any ideas?

Just thinking, as the tickover is a little unsmooth with the odd 'pop' etc, and essentially a car on overrun is tickover in gear whilst in motion, could it be the fact Ive got a stage 2 head with cam yet not a vernier yet to fully time the cam up?
Injectors are quite new mate.
Tonight I got a kent vernier. I set the engine to TDC marks with the std cam pulley on. Removed it. Set the kent pulley spot on with the std pulley (woodruff mark together, then TDC mark together) and then fitted the vernier to the cam. Fitted belt back on and tensioned it and the cam timing was 5 degrees retarded at the std setting! So I set the vernier to zero and it ticks over MILES better, no popping etc. Smooth! So hoping a road test tomorrow shows the juddering gone. That will do then until I get time to have it all setup

when i accelerate lightly sometimes it judders slightly from 2 - 3,500 revs might have to get this looked at too, but i think it may be the very old loom ive got or a tiny bit more timing adjustments needed.
