Su but at the minute it really doesn’t matter the day before I was going Away I was out on my mountain bike the only 50 yards from my home I was just kissed almost just spoked by a car the resulting fall resulted in a week in hospital a dislocated elbow + 2 severe fractures and 2 cracks in my pelvis I now have a titanium joint in my elbow stainless steel pins and I think 2 shortened tr4 throttle cables to keep the tendons together. So it’s a long recovery and way back obviously it will be a long time before I can drive or even spanner the TR. Phil.

This is how I wired my regulator box and it worked well. This is not my picture but one I copied of the forum. I hope this helps. Phil.

Just had the car out for very short run cut short not because of a bad tempered car but major roadworks again have sprung up just down the road so didn't fancy trying to get a sick car back whilst queuing in traffic. It seams OK just very fluffy !! between 1500 and 1700 revs !! I am away on holiday as from Saturday for a week and straight down to the spares day at Stoneleigh when I get back but I think I will give it a run after then if its still a bit hesitant I will take the filters of the carbs and try the carb piston drop test whilst they are of just blow out all the fuel pipes up to

Excellent. Started my car first time this morning no lumpiness, pulled the plug leads of one by one it ran rough every time I pulled a plug lead then fine when the lead was put back on. Decided to take it out for a drive expecting to be returning home any minute with a rough running car it ran great 3 times I took it out in a 30 mph zone pulling cleanly from 27mph up a slight hill in 4th to using my test track the motorway slip road it ran great, flat spot for 100 revs at 4000 revs but gets thru that and I don't usually rev it that hard. came home a brew a call from a mate who wanted a packa

Thanks for the answers 2 things, it started before I added the fuel, I always use shell or BP and from 2 busy petrol stations were they have at least one tanker a day. and no it wasn't diesel. The car is running Lumination electronic ignition. I wonder if that is breaking down. I think I will try a running thru a few things I have seen on the forum having done some research last night . If it will start run it with a bit of choke and pull the leads off one at a time see if that makes it worse. Maybe change the plugs. Then pump some fuel thru I have a secondary quality filter near the

I decided to take the TR out today for a bit of a run, Its not been on the roads for approx 3 months. However whilst garaged and I have been working on it I do start it up every 10 days or so. Even when really cold in the garage after a few turns it fires into life. I always let the car warm up before driving it adjusting the choke down by 2 settings then off. This morning was no different it drove down the road great after 2 miles I stopped turned of the engine to pick something up from a shop, started up again no problem drove for approx 1/2 mile and just as I was thinking of getting so
