From Berni’s link above. When I posted just before your photo I assumed you have the Type B alternator with both large terminals joined together as that is the only type I have come across to use that style of plug. :oops: I now see that it could be the Type A that use the outside large terminal for...

If so, has the hose from it to the inlet manifold become disconnected or perished, letting in too much air and therefore low suction at the carb.

Regards John.

Got my invite today through the post for the first jab.
Looking forward to attending on the 4th April.
