Hello everyone!

I would like to give an update on my engine. There were several small problems, which are fixed now and the engine is running fine.

1) Iginition timing was not steady (don't know why). I have fitted a 123 ignition for bmw 6 cylinder inside an original arnolt bristol distributor casing. => Works great and looks old.
2) There was still dirt in the fuel system.
3) The joint between the main carb housing and the emulsion tube holder was not fuel tight. Therefore fuel was dripping on the throttle valve and partially exiting via the shaft of the throttle valve. I have glued the emulsion tube holders in place with loctite shaft sealer.
