Fuel gauge
Can anyone tell me why it takes so long for the fuel gauge to come up to speed! Does it need overhauling or is this the way it will always be?

Is anyone running a Mallory Unilite Electronic Dizzy with a coil without the Ballast resistor, and what coil are you using?
Thanks

Mallory equipment
Ive tried keeping the coil upright, doesn't seem to make much difference.It still fails! Well if Acuspark are also made in China at least they are 4 times cheaper than Mallory!

Mallory equipment
Just recently I have had 3 Mallory Coils go in 3 years. I have been told that because they are made in China they are poor quality. Does this mean that all Mallory equipment is the same? I paid £21 + vat for a ballast resistor and £50 + vat for a coil, when Acuspark supplied a Coil and Ballast resis...

Cutting out whilst warm
Finally today I sorted the cutting out after cleaning the carb , replacing the Ballast resistor. The coil gave up on me YET again, 3 times in 3 years. Real Steel have told me the Mallory Coils are made in China! They tell me cos the Tiger gets so hot under the bonnet that's why they are failing! Hav...

Cutting out whilst warm
Hi Meadowhog, have noticed the pipe from PCV valve to back of carb is flattening! That could be the problem. Will take off and fit something solid in the middle of it tomorrow.

Bottom fulcrum pin bolts
Beware, I have recently had a bottom fulcrum bolt shear off leaving just one bolt hanging onto the bracket! Please check these as they have a habit of coming loose. One guy in the USA wrote his Tiger off when this happened.
Torque these to 32lbs. Be safe, not sorry.
Cheers Rob

Cutting out whilst warm
What carb have you got. What happens over 1500rpm. How warm is warm. Do you use a choke. Whats it like when you drive. Any strange engine noises. Is the dizzy loose. Can you see any fuel dribbling out of mains? Any black smoke out exhuast? Got enough water? Need more but as a guess running rich esp...

Cutting out whilst warm
Got a problem. When the car is cold it ticks over nicely. When its warm it cuts out on tick over, and is rough up to 1500rpm but starts immediately. Have electronic ignition, silicone leads. Any clues? Thanks

What didI do
Well, I changed the brake and clutch fluids, checked the pads for wear and adjusted the brakes. NEVER use the jack on its own, always support the car elsewhere, just in case, especially whilst bleeding the clutch!
