 Engine missing under load All of a sudden, the 602 was missing under load, but never stalled - intermittent.
First thoughts - ignition - contact breaker.
Then was it the condensor ?
Or was it the coil ?
Could it be the petrol pump
Perhaps a blocked jet ? Yesterday, for no other reason than it was easier to take the lid off the carb, I found a big lump of paint swimming in the fuel bowl. Cleaned it all out, removed all jets - didn't find any more rubbish. A test run went all OK and today another run of 40Km and all was well. I hope that is the end of it.

Re: Engine missing under load I would be checking where the first lump of paint come from first and clean the fuel system.

Re: Engine missing under load Looked at the points, which were sparking when opening and closing. Visited local Citroen garage and bought new points and condenser - seems OK now and no sparks at the points. Dare I say FIXED ??

Re: Engine missing under load the origional starter key switch is prone to packing up- if its knackered make sure you disable the steering lock part of it
