My guess is this is not ignition related. One way to peoce that is to ensure there is not output from the MSD is switched off. You could test that with the white points trigger wire and a spark plug plugged into the coil wire.


The floats are good. The float level is steady as a rock. The MSD is something that I haven't thought of. If I recall, with my old 6AL I didn't have this problem. Maybe explain in detail your recommendation for checking it.
No vacuum leaks. I checked that.
