im going to put this down to somthing to do with fueling..

2 incidents..

incident 1.. on the m42 coming back from birmingham cruising in 5th for 20 mins.. i go to overtake drop to 4th, and it just missfires for about 10 secs before i drop it back into 5th.

Then this morning coming to work im sitting in traffic for 5 mins, until the car starts struggling to idle.. by the end it cut out, i sat and waited 3 mins, started it up.. fine no problems at all..

It feels like somthing is flooding itself, im going to presume somthing within the carb, im currently rebuilding a carb so hopefully this will sort it but any ideas folks.

First one could be carb freeze when cruising?

Id start by checking the basic ignition bits :)

hmm it has got a very large front mount on it so you may be right, just in the process of replacing the ignition parts..
