Working on a friend's BN7 with H8(maybe HD8) carbs. When trying to cold start it will do a quick hit and die for a while then when it finally does start it spits and pops through the carbs. After it is warmed up, everything it smooth other than it hesitates when pulling off from a full stop. Owner says he uses the choke for the first few tries then takes it off to finally get it started.
Everything is currently at the stock settings, point type Lucas dizzy. When looking at the spark, to me, it looks pretty weak with the Lucas Sport coil. Looks like the vacuum advance is not working but I don't think that it the starting problem. Do not want to move to electronic, trying to keep this beauty as stock.
Any/all suggestions are appreciated.
BTW, I am TR3 guy just venturing into Healey-land for a friend.
