She’s been laid up for 3 weeks in the garage (dry). 400 mile round trip yesterday. Purred like a kitten (as usual) till last 60 miles. Stationary, at idle & 1000 rpm or less, MAJOR judders before stalling. In gear & moving (without foot on gas) minor kangarooing @ 1200 rmp or less (feels like all cylinders not firing)! Bit lost.... I’m suspecting fuel pump.
Oil changed less than 600 miles ago, new filters (air, oil & fuel) + gear box oil & breather mod, spark-plugs out (cleaned with fine wet & dry but not replaced). Normally starts & runs like a dream.... Oh.... I did have VX cleaned with a POWERFUL jet washer (not very carefully) at one of those car wash places (against my better judgment)... So could it be water in oil via gear box breather mod (air box also modified) or wet plugs (unlikely but only new “free radical”)? As always, thanks in advance. Ben. Movie 1: That banging you can hear is every panel shaking at less than 1000 rmp: https://www.dropbox....MOV?n=133448001 Movie 2: In idle (stationary). She doesn’t stall this time, but you can hear her “caughing”: https://www.dropbox....MOV?n=133448001 Movie 3: Engine & exhaust spluttering. Engine normally ticks over at constant RPM without fluctuation & exhaust note normally continuous: https://www.dropbox....MOV?n=133448001
Forgot to state (for those who don't know me) it's an NA.
