    Yup, advanced the timing to between 8 & 9 deg. Hard to tell with no definitive marks. The model number would be great thanks.

    I’ll get you the model number if you like.
    It did tend to run a little lean out of the box but that was easily fixed with the next size up main jet.
    Been running for 3 yrs now with zero adjustment.
    Have you advanced the timing?

    It’s on heritage plates so maybe 5000km? Not sure exactly.
    Mainly road with a few easy tracks.

    This is how I used to time my Series IIA/III's and found that it was best to use 3rd gear under load to check for pinging.

    Looks like the 341CH. Thanks for that. Paddocks stock them so I'll get straight onto it.

    I couldn't even get it in 2nd gear under load without it loading up. It's okay down my street but around the corner and up a very slight slope it dies in the arse. Nothing else left to replace after the carby.

    Have you checked your valve timing?

    Yes, that was part of the checks I did with the engine builder to ensure the engineering was correct and the issue lay elsewhere.
