Hi all,
It has been a while but finally got my TR3a back on the road where it should be. It is running like a top but the one question I have for you all is if you ever have a problem when you come to a stop on a downgrade and you stall out before you can get your foot from the brake to the gas to keep the revs up a little. My sequence of events is:
On slight downgrade, put car into neutral put on brake. While I am coming to a stop, and before I can safely take my foot off the brake I can here the engine get lower and lower until it just cuts off as I sit there at the stop sign or light. It starts right with no problem and will idle as well as it normally does for the rest of my stop.
If I am really quick I can sometimes save it at the last second but usually I am a moment too late. This is fully warmed up.
Thanks very much and happy anglophilic motoring.
