Would not start... with a fix
Discussion
Thought I would sate an odd problem I got this week
Tvr 3000m would not start.
Fuel was OK
Spark was OK
Could not find any problems but wouldn't run...
Eventually discovered that the newly fitted original metal airbox was pressing down on the distributor cap and stopping the left bank from firing !
Refitted the K&N and all solved
I tried fitting a double gasket to lift the original box a bit but the bonnet pressed down on the top ....

State the obvious........is it round the correct way.................the original bottom part of the airbox is "rebated" to miss the distributor?Tvr 3000m would not start.
