driving home the other night my series 3 started bucking and back firing. with a mile to go it'd only idle and wouldn't make the last 100 yds. uphill to the driveway.
knowing my fuel pump has been minimal for 5 years I put a new one on. (forgot how involved that can be) result?: no help. I did a integrity test of the suction line and on into the tank, no suction leaks and i also pulled a gallon out of the tank with a vacume tank. I re-installed the pump thinking the actuator was on the wrong side of the arm (if possible?) fuel filter (oem 1973 ok) .....(thx, rovers north for having what I hope to be a ACd60 element?) eventually hooked a test light to the points wire at distributor.... it blinks steady on cranking and hooked it to the other side of the coil also with no current interruptions. ran engine on idle with what was in the float bowl with steady discharge from pump.
eventually ordered a new weber carb from our hosts and a few other things. sometimes your land rover just wants you to spend money on it, I also gave the valve cover nuts half a turn.
think it'll work??
