My, that's a nasty cough you've got!

My brother was up from Melbourne for a couple of days so I lent him the Spider while he was here. It's been running pretty smoothly since we un-seized the distributor, timed it and replaced the dizzy cap and rotor button that resembled a lightning generator. Not sure how that beaut Fiat specialist had been doing the tune ups he was charging the previous owner for. That distributor hadn't been touched in a very long time and the timing was so far out that it was the wrong side of TDC (but that’s another nightmare). Back to the point - the spider has developed a nasty missfire. Tim had to head out of town so he put some injector cleaner in and that didn’t seem to help, he also grabbed a new fuel filter from local Fiat part guy who reckons that the old one could have collapsed. Will fit the new filter, plugs and leads on the weekend and see how it goes. Lucky I was prepared for some tinkering...
