Contact Alan Fairbrother in Hampshire – his tel nr. is + 44 (0) 2380 846252. He restores magnetos and came up with an original Scintilla for my 2L in no time.
This is a most welcome idea; the Lagonda Club is rather lethargic and does not even dare to publish articles on technical topics in the Magazine.
Therefore indeed – congratulations!
Might I start with a problem I have with my 2L engine which I hope somebody out there might have an answer to.
I have a twin SU carburetter downdraught cylinder head on the engine. It runs very well but the carbs “spit back” quite a bit of petrol through the air inlets, causing a rather explosive atmosphere under the bonnet.
Does anyone have an idea what might cause this? Could increased valve overlap cause this or could it be just the inlet valve timing? The car idles and runs very well, can it do so with incorrect valve timing?
