:Welcome:Bryan!
I saw your post on FB. Glad to hear there is another Europa in Mass. (There are at least 6 now that I know of.) (I’m in Marblehead.) hope to run into you at Lars Anderson British Car Day, or possibly the big Brit car day thing in Vermont. (I forget what it’s called, but I think it’s in Stowe.)
Keep us up to date on your progress!
Tom
We'll see.
A bit of 'fettling' that needs be done. Getting it started and running would be a start. Right now, it barely starts (with a lot of cranking), spits gas out of the carbs, pops and fluffs...and has a big flatspot from idle to full accelerator pedal down.
Replaced plugs (removed ones are black and sooty...). Thinking of investigating the ignition timing next. And getting the ass end up in the air to get the left tank out and on it's way to Moyer in PA to be sealed.
At this rate, I don't forsee her being ready for the road for a while.
UPDATE:
Maybe it would help if the dizzy was timed properly. Just for S&Gs...reached under the carbs (the airbox is off...), and found that the distributor lock plate was not tightened down. Now, Who the F would fiddle with a dizzy and not lock it down when they were done. Not going to blame the PO, since he was a Porsche/Audi man, but, geez, people.
Now, have to figure out where TDC is and get the distributor lined up so I can at least time it. Thinking that was the issue all along with getting it running. We'll see.
