Re: [doc] fuel distributer

Hi Mat

Fuel distributors rarely go bad and whatever you do, don't take it to 
pieces and try doing it yourself. They are very delicate, but extremely 
simple inside and there's not a lot you can just clean.

I sounds like it's running very rich if you're getting black smoke, and 
hesitation under accelleration can be an awful lot of things from the 
advance bob-weights in the ignition distributor to the lambda system, to 
the control pressure regulator - and I've once had a metering head where 
the plunger was too tight and wouldn't move freely. It's tough to say 
for sure.

I have a known good secondhand metering head on the shelf. A refurbished 
one, through us is around £300.
