Can anyone help with my 2200SC?
When I pull up to roundabouts or traffic lights from doing a reasonable speed, the engine just dies on me. I start it again no problem and it seem to run fine when moving at speed.
The problem has been getting progressively worse over the past few months and it now dies on me when at idle when not dropping from a high speed. I can't reach a decent top speed either like I used to as I could do 85mph quite easily last year but now I struggle to reach 70mph. Could these problems be related?
The following have recently been changed/checked:
New plugs
New rotor arm and points
New vacuum thingy on distributer
New oil filter and oil
Engine compression checked
Carb dismantled and cleaned with new gaskets fitted
Carb cleaner in petrol
Timing checked and reset
Mixture checked and set (before carb rebuild). I intend to get mixture rechecked next week.
I would be very grateful for any advice as I am now at a loss as to what to do next.
Best regards
Russ
