I own a 82 tf gemini which has had a bit of work done to it carb, cam etc. But recentally it has developed a problem, it now sounds like it is missing and splutters alot and dosen't idle. But then as soon as the engine is put under load ie. going uphill or accelerating in runs perfectly fine. It splutters a little initialy but then picks up just like it always has.Iv checked the vaccume advance and the timming etc and all are ok Any ideas on what the problem is would be greatly appreaciated,

is the primary/secondary mixture screw still in the carb as they can shake loose and fall out over time, or can fall out in minutes if pretty fucked

i agree with the nutman. it would have something to do with your carby. its got to do with your tuning or that bastard of a carby needs rekitting. if its a weber or a holley, the rebuild kits are around the 50 dollar mark last time i checked. and another problem that it could be is that it is a gemini - at a guess Razz

I had a similar prob with my gem - check your points. Mine had become badly pitted after about 1000km. The missing was most noticable when just cruising around - once load was applied it was ok (until they got really fucked). Something else to check anyway.

my mates the points in the dizzy had formed a spike almost and the top of the dizzy was fucked big time got a new one of each and was back to normal
