A mechanically inept bloke trying to fix his Triumph Spitfire 😞

Can someone still with a lot to learn make some progress?

I wonder if there is an air leak in the induction side somewhere?

[@thtmotoring]

Certainly a possibility. Never checked that before

[@mcloviinz]

Looks like your static timing is set somewhere ATDC? I know my spit's timing is happy around 10 BTDC but I wouldn't know the specific's of your year/config. Definitely seems like the timing is off when you put revs to it though

[@thtmotoring]

I adjusted the timing to what it should be. Mine’s also 10 BTDC. Used a standard timing light. Didn’t sort it sadly. Has gone into the garage today.
