When I wrapped up my 58 100/6 last winter in it's nice warm garage, with the de humidifier ticking away, it fired up on the choke, warmed up nice and ran like a dream
Since opening the door this spring it has struggled to start and when it does run makes loud sucking noises and is very hesitant to rev when given gas. When I do manage to get some revs into it after I have got it warmed up it is unresponsive and after blipping the accelarator a while it pops and bangs and struggles
I've had all the plugs out and cleaned them, they were new last autumn, I've had all the carbs apart, (twin HD-6 SU's ) cleaned a little gunge from the bottom of the bowls and put them back together, other than that they were nice and clean
What's my next step ?
Timing ? Cannot see that the distributor has moved at all, nice and tight, so why would the timing go out?
Compression test? Not something I've ever attempted, but it's almost as if it is only runing on 5 cylinders
Plug leads ? They were new last Autumn along with the points
Distributor cap ?
Coil?
Any help greatly appreciated
