Problem is that when the car won't start there is still a spark from the king lead. If it was a single spark plug problem the car would start but be very rough.

Pressure tested OK, dismantled carburettor and it's clean as a whistle. So what next to check? Could it be a coincidence that the serious misfire (so bad it's undriveable) only started after fitting a Kenlowe fan? If so, why does the misfire occur regardless of the engine temperature? Could there be...

Thank you.

On my 1965 Tiger 260 my carburettor is twin choke and as far as I am aware is completely original.
What make/model is it?
I need a new/reconditioned one, any idea of a supplier?

OK bought a new distributor cap, rotor arm, points, condenser, coil and plug leads. Problem persists.
Conclusion it must be fuel. New SU fuel pump fitted, will now buy a fuel pressure meter so what should the pressure be?

I talked to someone about power steering but did not make a note of the conversation.
Can I have the contact details for anyone who can provide the kit please?

Thanks I'll try that.

I have a serious misfire and the car conks out when driving.
I've changed the coil, condenser, fuel pump, fuel filter and checked the points gap.
What else could it possible be - help!

Very useful, thanks Dave.

Has anyone fitted electronic ignition to their Tiger?
If so, was it successful and do you have any advice?

Very helpful thanks.

Thanks, what a great web site.
There are loads of SU fuel pumps, do you know if I need a high or low pressure pump?

I'd like to buy a spare electric fuel pump. Any idea where I can get this?

Can anyone recommend a company or person who would be willing to change my engine for another? I'm reluctant to change it myself not having the facilities. The replacement engine is ready to go except the flywheel and belt pulleys will need to be swapped. Willing to pay of course! I live near Milton...

I'll contact him now. Thanks.
