ianhoward Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hi Mickcar Welcome to the forum! Whilst not exactly near to Bristol, Malcolm at 'Prestige Injection' in Wrexham is very well versed in the PI system and even a phone call may proved useful... Good luck!

I am a TR member cheers mickcar Make sure that the vacumn tube from the top of the MU tothe inlet manifolds is robuts and effective, I had a simiolar problem cured by replacing this rubber tube which from a visual inspection appeared fine. I has a significant effect ofn the MU based on the throttle opening /vacumn so for the sake of a tenner its worth a look. Mu's shouldnt need adjusting but if its tired and or not been in regular use then youll need an expert to diagnose and unless its a guru they will recommend replacing anyway at £150 + labour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike G Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I hate to state the obvious, but have you replaced the air filter. Mike G Quote Link to post Share on other sites

westofsouth Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 If you've not already done it, you will probably get a better response from the TR6 forum. In the meantime, Revington is probably your best bet for a full analysis and set-up. MH ps. I also have a TR5 and live in Bristol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
