Gutless!
Over the last few weeks, my pride and joy has been suffering with what felt like a lack of power, slowly getting worst, till the point that when I gave it a 'little boot' she started pulling back and jumping. This only happend on the motorway to start with, but was soon down to anything involving touching the accelarater. I changed the rotor arm as I was told the resistor may of gone, and this improved the problem, but only up to 40mph! So I changed the leads, plugs and dizzy cap. This improved it even more, but it still lacks the power it had, and should I put my foot down or get to 70 mph mark, it still wants to pull up…..anyone any suggestions of what else I can try? Seems strange that for each ignition part I change improves it a little more, yet nothing sorts the problem completely.
