Ahh! that's interesting. My Q (Last Chance Saloon) has had an intermittent fault which has only shown up on my last 2 trips to Stoneleigh. I thought it was a fuelling issue (it may be of course), but it hasn't done it at any other time (not even on both trips home!) I was thinking it just didn't like going to Stoneleigh. On the 2018 trip there it wouldn't hold the idle unless the revs were raised with the throttle. With Mark Cleminson assisting the carb jets were checked and nothing untoward found. I wondered if the idle cut off valve was playing up, and when I took the +ve feed off to it, and reconnected I got an HT jolt through my fingers. The coil was going to be an item to be checked this year prior to Stoneleigh, and your observation has made me even more inclined to think the coil may be the problem. Reminds me of the first kit I built (Dutton Melos)...... The engine cut a few times when exiting sharp RH bends, and first thought was fuel starvation - When I saw an oil leak from the coil (and of course replaced it) the fault disappeared. Things (especially intermittent) aren't always what they first (or second, or third) seem to be.

Sounds like mine when I had an intermittent fault on the coil. New coil sorted it.

A few days ago, I had an e-mail from someone I've not heard of. The Subject was asking about the next issue of QM [I am the previous editor] but there was no text in the message part. So I deleted it. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Soon I must try to get my 2+2 on the road again. It goes so far, then stalls. Will start immediately and runs if you keep the revs up. Bit difficult at roundabouts! Is there a known problem with the XR2 1.6 litre CVH engine? Mike -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Quantum Owners] Barry the painter?

I had a message this morning entitled "Brush painting gel coat" from someone called Barry. If Barry has my email via the group that's not a problem, but the message had no script, just attachment so looked suspicious I deleted it. If Barry wants to pick my brains then no problem, can he send another note! To Jim, Steve or other techi people....... Is it possible (or even likely) that my computer had been infiltrated by someone who's gathered a subject and my email name (which isn't used in many places) and sent something malicious?
