Backfiring
Yoshi:
Tis now fixed, it were the dizzy that was at fault, now running faultlessly!
Nick Bradshaw:
What was wrong with it? Was it wear on the distributor shaft bearing? I merely ask because my series 3, 6-cylinder 109 is backfiring on the overrun; I've fitted a new distributor (£75 from Craddock's) but it's still popping away when I lift my clog. Cheers.
philbert:
if its backfiring on the overrun then i would say you have an air leak on the exhaust somewhere.
mines does it every time the exhaust manifold joint comes loose!
Nick Bradshaw:
Thanks for that; I've fitted an exhaust, but it's still popping. If it gets much worse, I'll be fitting another one!!! I suppsoe it has to be timing, but I used the lamp method and set it to 2degrees ATDC, as it should be. It's a puzzle. On the other hand, just had a new carb, engine completely re-built by Inch's of Plymouth, so I've got a fairly sound 6-cylinder petrol LWB Series Three, and there aren't so many left.
Robbo:
I'd refit the exhaust aswell, little gaps never become apparent until under full load and hot.
