What am I missing?? (I know that's been asked before)
A couple of weeks ago, I did stuff (cleaned slip ring++) that made mine run real good (good Inglish hey?)...then I ran into some folk at the pub I hadn't seen for a while, and girl buddy Kym says " I always hear you coming and know it's you..."
... and I said "yeah it's runnin' real... (at this point she punched in the gob and said 'don't say it- but I said it anyway..) ...good, hey "...and then I +*beer*+ left..
Next morning started up to go to a job, and a bit rough- nothing untoward, usually evens out, but not that day...only had to go a few K's, but dinae git inny better...conked out on the left, and occasionally fired but right plug was ok, then conked out altogether at the lights and had to push it past the copshop to the job
... had to truck it back to the (very) Low Chaparral...
So I have fuel which comes through the idle/main circuits if i blow air in the pilot intake (cough-spit)..spark on new plugs x2 sets =
sometimes is good on both, and sometimes better on one, and fires up on the left, but not the right and dies after a few rounds.
Points gap varies ~12/~14 thou, but always been ok...spring not touching cam ring...earth brushes cleaned- 2 sets new plugs B6ES/BP6ES
Slip-ring looks a bit 'crazed'...I'm wondering if that's playing up.
Maggie has done ~10K miles since rebuild (20 years ago), and ol' mate assured me it'll last me out...no reason to doubt that..
I've swapped the (new) pickups/brushes/leads/caps/plugs.....why would it run on one side and not the other with various combos of that??
