Johndouglas Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Can we take it that you put fresh petrol in it? Also a new set of plugs, points, oil and filter before running it? Quote

paul.h Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Is it now running but still with the misfire ? If it is an ignition problem it could be the ignition coil cassette but first it would be worthwhile removing (and maybe replacing) all the spark plugs and seeing if they are all the same light brown colour at the tips. Any that are not may show a problem with that cylinder - spark plug fault (could swap the plug to another cylinder to see if the problem moves with the plug), low compression due to a valve problem (try a compression test), ignition coil problem. It could also be a fuel problem such as a temperature sensor fault, blocked air filter, air leak, injector/carburettor fault. Quote
