Re: Flat Spot

Many thanks for your replay David,
I try first the easy way, that i change the distributer and all settings necessary, then if she continue give flat spot,
i change camshaft and distributer.
The problem is, that i want everythig with mechanic, so for money, and for days or weeks.

Re: Flat Spot

So the flat spot is coming because i don!t have a good distributer, or something in the carbs? Not because she is 1.8 super but have two carbs and she didn’t have camshaft Tc ? Thanks Renzo

Re: Flat Spot

Thankyou David for your immediate replay.
She has 1.8 super camshaft and the distributor that she has is mini clubman according to the number on it.

I already did a rebuild of the engine i don't wish to open it again.
