I have a TR6 I inherited from my father, he was going to have a huge engine installed but died in the middle of it. The shop kept all his money and I paid them 500 to put back in old engine.
It drove fine at first but seemed to lose power. Then sat for a few months. I cranked and gas spewed out the bottom of the carbs. After reading the forums I took off carbs thoroughly cleaned replaced o-ring plugs all new seals. They were full of an orange/reddish sediment.
After I hooked everything back up.
It cranked up, no leak, but now there was no power I would give it gas and nothing. Just no power.
Any ideas?
I'm afraid the shop that put the engine back in could have really screwed up the car.
BTW typed on iPhone so forgive typos
