Hi All
I've tried to search for the answer here but failed so far (I know it is there as I am sure I have read it!). So I am relying on a new discussion/post with apologies to the person who tuts and sends me the relevant link!!!
Owing to personal circumstances (house moves), poor Luigi hasn't had any attention recently but every couple of weeks or so we have been for a run and he has started OK and generally buzzed along well.
However, there is an increasing "hesitancy" especially when more under load (e.g. long uphill or long flat out stretches). It is like a very brief drop in power (sort of like a hiccup/hiccough or however you spell it) but will repeat a few times enough to make you fear the engine is going to stop. It can mainly be felt through the accelerator. He idles fine.
I'm hoping that it may just be that the timing is slightly off or, more likely (?), the tappets needing adjusting again so that I can sort it once I can get out my tools again. However, if anyone has any other thoughts they would be gratefully received.
Many thanks as always (and once removals are finished and we are unpacked I am sure I will be back to asking lots of questions!).
