Problem:
Pretty much since dyno last December 6 been acting up, specifically missing under load 1st through 3rd gear 2500 to 3500 rpm even flutter sounds @hiway speeds, accommpanied by white/bluish smoke on rear bumper and rediculously low gas mileage. Appeared to be running rich & lean at the same time, I know, weird.

Trouble shooting: Individually replaced rotor, electronic ignition, coil each time no effect on rectifying issue.

Solution:
Visit with her mechanic today short ride dianogsis Carbs: Victimized again by the inferior quality of the rubber used in the diaphrams as small (1/4") tear discovered in bowl/seat area of rubber diaphram, which themselves were new/installed last June. Changed plugs one relating to non-functioning carb soot (white) the others soot (black)

Back in Love again aka running tight & sweet, On my website uploaded short video clip of the horrid sound & tach reading before visit to wrench.

For a couple days of trial & error I was not a happy camper, you know that I deserve more especially as good as I treat you feeling, but as with most issue we owners of British Iron endure it was a simple fix once isolating the problem, just in time for 1st day of Spring tomorrow, was headed to Woodley All Brit Show in Burbank but big rain forecasted so I may not get out of the TR Cave
