Honda-SOHC

Well did a bit of trouble shooting.  connected up #3 and #4 overflows and after about 6 miles started to miss. put my hand down an disconnected #4 (only one i could reach) went smooth all through 4-5-6 K connected it back in a lay buy  miss at around 4K. so now i have all but #4 overflows connected with no missing. i did a plug chop at just over 4K and this was the result.



number 1 looking in my humble opinion as OK




number 4 looking rich again in my opinion a bit rich but not much.

this coupled with the fact that i am unable to connect the overflow on #4 suggests something is not right with this carb.

Strange but good day to day. went to do my test run and went about 12 miles to tescos with her in doors on the back and sur enough it starts spluttering at 4K. i was miffed to say the least.

when pulling away from lights i took it to 7K in each gear and boom no miss, the min i roll the throttle back comes the miss.
when she was getting a few things i took off the overflow pipes to each float bowl, not sure why but I am at the point of tiring anything.

on the way home a went on a little de tour. i went through maisemore to the  M50 and down to a place called Newent which was 15 miles on the M50 and drove at a steady 60 -85 all the way down the M50.

brill. great runs sweet.
now i am going to go out with the tubes back on to see if it comes back.

not sure what difference these over flow pipes off make but hey its running goooooood

both points and condensers are genuine Honda

its silly, up to the first 3-6 miles its great then as soon as you roll the throttle closed fast then try to pull away miss miss

i will get to the bottom of it

i have an annoying oil leak from the in side the plastic bit of the neutral switch. where the wire connects to the threaded part.
not a huge amount but enough to drip on my drive once an hour or so.
do i need a new switch?
