About a month ago, I went to go to a club event. The wagon seemed to be running rough and by the time I got to the meeting point only a few kms from home, it was running so rough that it wouldn’t idle. It had developed a bad miss.
One of the gentlemen from the club took a look and there appeared to be a miss on cylinders 1 and 2. I had to abandon the cruise and try and find someone to diagnose the miss.
As luck would have it, I dropped in at Yass Mechanical Services. They were very busy and couldn’t look at my wagon that day. However, a member of the Yass Antique Motor Club was visiting the workshop and he offered to look at it for me.
I left the wagon there for a few hours and got a call to come and collect it. Apparently the choke cable was sticking open on the front carb, hence it running rich on cylinders 1 and 2, causing the miss. All that was done was to fix the sticking cable and a new set of plugs. The wagon was driving very nicely again, however I had missed my club event for the day.
