Solex Tuning
peterg,
It sounds like you have improved the tuning slightly but it still needs more work . Have you balanced the airflow , so all three carbs are the same??
If not you will never get them right .
Float levels must be even at 16mm
Butterfly shafts must be in good condition
Unless those three are checked and correct you will never get it tuned correctly .
Before you tune the carbs ,I should have mentioned the valves should be adjusted , ignition points set & ignition timing set .
Re the electrical problem take it back to the auto electrician who fitted the alternator .
I've owned and ran Bristol powered cars for about 40 years and never needed or wanted a alternator . The original Generator and correct large battery will be sufficient for what a Bristol needs unless you have a bank of spotlights on the front and air conditioning fitted .
My 400 has additional tail lights , electric radiator fan , original valve radio and have never had a problem in 30 years of use .
Regards
Geoff
