I had a 1960 TR3A when I was 15. (45 years ago) When I saw this one I had to buy it.
The engine was rebuilt but never tuned up. It chugged into my garage where I noticed that the chokes where stuck on. Once I freed them up and leaned the mixture, the idle doubled. Then I added 4 degrees of advance and the idle doubled again. Now it is purring like a kitten but the idle keeps hunting between 700 and 900 rpm. I'm thinking its the vacuum advance since I've eliminated my other guesses.
And Idea's why the idle would vary about every second, up and down.?
Thanks
