Misfire
Hi,
Bit of a problem that when I hit around 4 1/2 to 5k is starts to misfire, I'm pretty sure it isn't going lean, checked and rechecked the
logs. I'm using the dizzy take off for the the MS tacho input. I don't have points anymore but replaced them with one of the solid state
aldon point replacement modules that fits under the distributor cap.
Could it be this? can't see what else it could be, or could it be MS mis-interpreting the rpm
Cheers

The causes of misfires are numerous.....
One that really got me was a worn dizzy drive on the crank on an old Xflow..... I got the carbs adjusted, new points, condesner etc... seemed to help
for a while but returned very quickly (as the dizzy slipped on the crank drive). Only worked out what the problem was when I the engine finally
sucumbed to the constantly variable timing!! Nasty....

dizzy does't seem to be worn, but have not come across a worn distributor, will see if I can find another to prove a point. At some point I want
to do away with the dizzy.
Cheers
