A Weak Spark - Sparks a Thought

So SAAB early PM for a Harkstead-East Bergholt-Harkstead run. Slow run there and slower back in the late September heatwave.


Here we are behind a tractor full of onions blocked by a low loader with a bus coming towards us.

Later Aston was the weapon of choice for the run to the shops for supper. Felt good although the brakes seemed to be squeaking.


Finally I had a play with the Imp. Cleaned the plugs and and it was no better. I then tested #1 and #3 (from the windscreen) and they had a weak spark. The rotor arm also looked past its best - so we'll start there.


Finally I spotted two small 'buttons' on the SU carbs - pressing them made the fuel pump operate and fuel being squirted in. Slightly too much as it happens as it started to drip out - but I think that means there is fuel getting through.
