Still misfiring

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?

What make is my carburettor?

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?

Still misfiring

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?

Power steering

I talked to someone about power steering but did not make a note of the conversation.

Electronic ignition

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

Fuel pump

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?
