I was driving my chim into work this morning and was sitting in traffic for ten minutes or so. When I finally managed to pull off, the Chim was making a strange burbling noise rather than the smooth V8 sound I have come to know and love!

It sounds to me as if one or two of the spark plugs aren't firing for one reason or another. Possibly the HT leads? There is also a significant loss in power which points to that too I think. Has anyone had a similar experience? What should I look at first?

Thanks,

Jamie.

Go out at lunchtime and give it a good blast. That will either sort out your problem or crystallise it!

It may just have a little fuel flow problem, oiled plugs or something, but before you take it out, have a look under the bonnet for oil, loose wires, leaks etc.

Check all spark plug attachments. They often work loose, and/or deteriorate with heat.
