 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. BobH

 Re: Engine missing under load
Ughhh Back to the drawing board. One day of purrrfect behavior and the next day back to the old problem - missing under load. So Me thinks its time for a new condenser ?

 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
