Hi all.
I'm after some advice please.
I have a 1960 Constellation twin carb model, and have recently been having some misfire issues. I had the condenser in the mag fail a couple of months ago, and a brightspark easy cap was fitted. Been putting some miles on it this week, and all seemed to be fine. New plugs fitted, carb fuel filter and main jets checked and cleaned, but after 20 miles today, mostly 50 - 60 mph, it developed a misfire. It's not losing power completely, but "hesitant" both when accelerating and holding a constant speed. It's been suggested to me that it could be carb icing (it was a bit brass monkeys today, and a fair bit of the ride was quite high up). What do you guys think?
Many thanks
Rob
