Triumph Repair: 70 spitfire mk3, spitfire mk3, tech tip

Question
Tried starting car and all I get is backfiring, have spark to distributor, can you help

Answer
Hi Dale,
The symptom of backfiring when trying to start narrows the fault to only a thousand possibles, so you are going to have to run some tests to narrow the problem a little closer.
Read my tech tip on how to test an engine for a no start condition and let me know the results of the tests.
