Cheers David Hi David, I had loads of probs with TR1's not performing to well. One that kept occuring was inlet manifolds, they tended to allow air through between the carb & manifold, first hint of this was backfiring on over run then it got worse. You will find a valve under the l/h plastic below the fuel tank, it's function was to prevent the backfire on over run as the TR is now an old beast the tubes running from the valve to the induction system may have rotted Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
