TV175 S3 running a Muggy V1; Jetex 22mm; 42mm Clubman; 6v points.
The above set up has run perfectly for the last 5 years or so.
However, recently its been a pig to start when warm/ hot.
It WILL start when warm/ hot, but "chugs", for a couple of minutes (throttle does nothing during this period), then slowly picks up its revs, then its fine. When it runs, it runs very well indeed with absolutely no problems.
Any ideas Gents?
