123 Ignition. Will it cure my misfire?

can you use the standard coil with this or do you have to upgrade that aswell...........

 

No special coil needed, although good to fit a new one. A blue-label Brazzy will be fine.

 

And the result was...

 

yeah so what was the outcome?

 

I fitted my 123 over the weekend, along with coil, HT leads, and fuel pump. She ran absolutely brilliantly on the test run right up to when she didn't and had to be rescued by the AA from the M3.

It's an intermittent fault and so I'm putting back all the old kit, cleaning the carbs and starting again!

 

@Top Banana Racing ??????

 

The AA hasn't got him towed home yet...

 

Got disturbed last night and ran out of daylight. Will finish it at lunch time then test it out.

 

you knicker thieves..........

 

He very nearly got caught...

 

Old rule is 'Only change 1 bit at a time'....

 

The only thing that worries me is theirs no 4

 

Is it fitted?

 

It didn't work.
Well, it works but misfire still there.
Changed leads
Changed plugs
Changed distributor
Changed exhaust
Checked valve clearances
Wtf else is there unless it's carbs?

 

Try ruining a direct supply from the battery to the coil
Coil maybe

 

after I'd done the rings on my 2ltr engine I thought id done something wrong as I had the exact same problem. kept getting a phut phut every so often but no pattern to it. I found that one of the sealing rings between the head and the heat exchanger wasnt seating properly. took the heat exchanger off and blobbed on some exhaust paste and it sealed properly. I was getting the odd bang and fart on over run too

 

Good job you havent cured it, otherwise the farmer would have to buy a Crow scarer

 

Air leak

 

I was going to type just that. But at least you have a new dizzy.
