Hi ppl, my old carb'd up cvh is giving me grief in that it often (esp noticeable when idling or trying to lol) misfires. With the bonnet up I can clearly see and hear the spark jump across from No3 lead to the head.

Ok now i've changed the spark plugs for a nice new set and gapped em up ok - same problem.

So I took off No2 lead and exchanged it for No3 thinking maybe duff lead but same prob, still on No3!

Any help???

It's doing my nut in grrrrr

 

Think i would try new leads, maybe the route number 3 takes is a shorter jump to earth, i have heard this proplem before and new leads cured it , hope you get it sorted

 

Id invest in a new set of leads mate

 

okies ppl, off to Halfords I go....
Let ya know later...

 

Replace the leads. The insulation has obviously degraded.

 

Yup, thx for your time ppl new leads sorted it.

Gonna have fun bolting on my spare T3 next and see how long the pistons last lmao...
