cbv8 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Try the easiest first is the rotor arm original Rover part ie a row of numbers on the Bakalite bit as pattern ones are sh*te ??) the amont of failed r.arms (pattern) is unreal ::) The r.arm has to be original even a second hand original is better than a new pattern one other than that check obvious things like leads/plugs(NGKs) cap again i would recommend original ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 got a holley in my TR7 V8, does a similar thing - I think it is squirting in a little too much petrol via the accelerator pump when I bang my foot down, hence momentarily choking it!

wakaday Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I had Holley issues on my V8 TR7. I tried everything and eventually bought a brand new weber/Edelweiss. It worked perfect straight out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 interesting vids, will watch a few more when I have time. Book seems to have disappeared into the depths of the bookshelf, not turned up yet. Car not at home, not sure how many idle screws I have got, but carb looks different.
