driving to work on tuesday and my car started juddering like it was a fuel problem then stopped. got it recovered to my mates garage who has a lot of knowledge about this car. we changed the inline fuel filter, cleaned the fuel lines and tank and cleaned the carb. took it for a test drive then did it again, any1 know what else this could be. it only does it when it is labouring slightly up hill. confused

[banarama]

perhaps its the fuel pump ,or is it to low of fuel .

[louie bagel]

could be the condensor had that happen a couple of times on my old one

Had the same problem on a car yrs ago, uphill-died, downhill-fine! I thought the same as you, fuel related but after much checking,cursing and swearing it was a loose spade terminal on the coil of all things, which just broke contact as the engine tilted under load!! Probably way off for yours, but worth a punt

Sounds like condensor to me. Or perhaps fuel lines getting blocked further up. Can't be anything to serious, there's not a lot to go wrong!

[Mr Sam]

check the condition of rotor and dizzy cap and plugs

 

if its points dizzy change them and the condensor
