Dear wise men,
please can someone tell me if there is supposed to be a "restrictor" in the vacuum advance tube from the distributor to the carb body? Because with my running VX
I have found one, and on my donor VX
the tube is not restricted. When purchased, the car had the tube disconnected from the carb, and the timing was quite a bit out. There was occasional bad pick up and "stubbling off throttle", which has persisted and got worse now we have correctly tuned / timed the VX. I have removed the tube, filled a glass of water and attempted to blow bubbles into the glass etc and it seems completely blocked!
I am aware that there is supposed to be a restrictor within the vacuum advance system
that governs the water heated carb manifold system etc, and that is in place.
Lulu at present is pretty undrivable!
Help.
All the best,
Chas,
(VXdeMAYO).
