Post coughing and sneezing
so.. went for a little run yesterday and when pulling away from junctions and at relatively low revs car was coughing a few times and almost sneezing... it also backfired a couple of times... what has caused this flu?

The tappets haven't been set in a long long time so going to do that today anyway but could it be something else?

i'm going to check the carb is bolted down correctly and the exhaust looks like it isn't blowing...

funnily it idles perfectly and when driving faster it seems to be ok

hope you can help,

fritz
