ZOk guys thanks for the replies .car has a twin choke Webber fitted Spanish built .getting enough fuel .I will check what the coil is getting .it has the ballest resister fitted ..looked on eBay same resisters fitted supplied with luminition coil .Was going to take it to a local garage but have to wait for approx 2 mounths .tipton garage .The owner was I think a member of Jack Brabbom f1 years back .Thanks Mike

Hi all .Just after some advice .Marcos 1600 ford cross flow engine .Could a car alarm .cause a weak spark on ignition .Reason car will not run on choke .But will run better on the throttle .we changed the distributter over to a points one .Car ran a little cleaner .on remote starter switch .mate thinks it's got a weak spark .plugs changed .carb getting plenty of fuel .luminition fitted .Clifford concept 300 system fitted since 2003 .mate thinks the alarm could be the cause .?Soory if it's in the wrong section ....Mike
