Looks like this Instant Windscreen joint is a Franchise setup. Go to the top. Give headquarters a ring and put it to them.

Had a similar problem with a Midas at Strathpine. Ripped my son off with brake work where they charged me but the work was not actually done. I got his money back and the Midas at Strathpine is now shut.

I agree with short-coupe. Something blocked the idle jets. Either the blockage went through or it moved just waiting to get me another time.

I am willing to wait and see.

1971 Sedan.

Does not have anti-dieseling solenoid on the carbie.

It was only going back to idle not while I was running. It has never cut out.

1971 Sedan runs fine. I have over hauled the carbie including linishing the body contact surfaces, new plugs, replaced the points with Petronix etc. The car has run great for a year. Gets regular oil, plugs etc.

Yesterday she started running rough. By the time I get to work she would not idle. Lifting the foot of the accelerator was just like turning the ignition key off. she ran fine under acceleration but would not idle.

At lunch time at work I looked for possible fuel blockage/filters/idle mixture screw movement/ air leaks in vacuum hoses etc etc with no luck.

Driving home started the same way as getting to work. All of a sudden she ran OK. Idles smooth, accelerates smooth. All OK this morning to work.

Dont ya just love em!!!!

Probably just waiting until I am dressed up to go out before doing it again.

Hey Kodiak,

I have the "jerking" when accelerating. I found the coil HT connection was dirty. Gave it a clean and all is well.

If you take your MPH speedo out of the cluster you will notice that the KPH is actually marked on the section under the MPH figures ie on the metal plate that holds the speedo mechanism.

You can then check any artwork you make to cover the MPH figures with the KPH lines on the lower plate.

hope this makes sense!!!!!
