TR2/3/3A Fuel pump and who knows what else TR3a

PS - check the windscreen fasteners (the two big "screw heads" at the base of each side of the windscreen frame).

I believe that when they're correctly set to hold the windscreen onto the car, the slots should be horizontal. Yours look angled, so may not be completely tight.

No, it has been running great. This just started last week. Like I said I havent looked into it much yet.
 
Sounds like a dead miss to me. My money's on ignition issue. For it to go all of a sudden is one giveaway. Pull the plugs and have a look.
 
Okay, so I pulled the plugs and the rear most plug was kinda wet and oily. The second from the rear had a little build up and the front two were cleaner than the that one. So I cleaned them up and put them back, checked gap of coarse and started it up. It went back to idling and running as normal. I also rebuilt the fuel pump and cleaned all that up, so I am in good shape there. Not sure what was up with that rear plug being wet and oily though? Also on another note, sometimes it smells like I'm burning oil or something. Any thoughts on the plugs or smell?

Thanks
Anthony!
