Well, just got back from going for a spin and.....NO MISFIRE!!!. The re-adjustment I did on the regulator or the rotor arm must have done it. I am keeping my fingers crossed but I really need to do a few more miles to be sure.

The pressure was at down at 4 psi when I checked it this afternoon so it was a fair bit out. I also adjusted the Weber a little bit richer. I have to say being a single carb it is quite easy to adjust the air/fuel mixture. I hate working on carbs!. I don't know how you guys get on with four of them to set up, it must be a nightmare. I think the worst car I have for that was a Dax Cobra with a Jag V12 and six carbs (see below!). It was way out of my league to set up. I did not have that one very long as it ran awfully.

I hope that my journey home tonight will be missfire free. That would give me plenty of smiles per gallon!
