Andrew Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Took part in a track evening at Teesside Autodrome last night. At £35 for three hours open pit lane it makes a good test day. Myself and pal Stoney were both checking out various gremlins, .. mine being the miss fire I seemed to pick up at Knockhill last year. I've tried all the usual stuff, fuel pump, pipework, filter, plugs, leads, dzzy cap and rotor arm etc. was convinced I found the problem last time out at Blyton.. bad connections in the dizzy cap.. but first session last night.. dam dam dam and dam some more.. it still missed like a pig! Spoke to a rolling road chappie a few days about it, and he suggested it could be the battery. Now I knew my battery wasn't in top condition, but it always started the car first kick, and the alternator always showed a healthy 14.** volts. I'm no lecky, but my plan B was to borrow a battery if the car still played up. Unfortunately the red Westy broke a wishbone second session, so he was out. Making like a Vulture I ripped the battery out of the dead Westy.. (Not really.. ) and did a couple of sessions on a healthy battery. Hey presto miss fire gone. New battery ordered this morning. Pal has a wishbone coming from WSC too. So, to the video. A bit of a chase going on with Stoney when Rich Kerr makes a guest appearance. @Scottish Bloke 3 Quote
