Hi Chuck,

Your description of your problems sounds much like my 250T and 280S before.

Have you checked the coil? There's a spec for the resistance between the terminals -- sorry, I don't know the right spec, but there is one. What about the condenser?

I assume you have the correct solid-core plug wires with the resistor boots and non-resistor non-platinum plugs?

Now about that carb.... could it have internal vacuum leaks? Could it have warped after the PO had it rebuilt? (ie: over-tightened when re-installing)

FWIW, my driveability problems with the 250T went away when I changed the Solex 4A1 to a Weber 40 DCNF.

However, on my 280S, it was all ignition... and setting the points and timing correctly fixed it. Now I have PerTronix kit.

Hope this helps, or at least hope it leads to another idea that would help...

good luck and have fun!
