Want to go above 3000 rpm?

Well I can’t. Bugger! Ed (TR8 guru) reckons it’s the size of the fuel pump and the position in which it located. This makes sense as I can’t get up very small inclines – suggests fuel starvation? Even Neil (previous owner) believed the fuel pump was a little bit dodgy. So there it is then. Or is it?

Paul/Pete (race Land Rover V8s) have had a quick butchers. They have taken plugs out and undone leads and caps and all manner of things. They suggested new plugs, a new blue distributor cap as that’s the one needed for electronic ignition. They will do something with a strobe and then be able to eliminate various problem areas.

All I know is that summer is rapidly disappearing and I don’t know how to fix it – there isn’t a “won’t go above 3000 revs” section in the Haynes manual! I knew there would be a learning curve – just didn’t expect it so soon nor to be so steep!
