My sick TC

[Tweed]

Better still, take the condenser out, throw it in the bin and replace it with one of these kits.    http://www.boyerbransden.com/pdf/KIT00070.pdf Tweed

  Nothing to offer regarding the ignition light but my first go-to for lack of power under load is the condenser. Try bypassing it with a known good one to see whether that makes any difference. I ve had a couple fail on different cars, including the TC last year. Dave TC9964 Aberdeen, sunny Scotland Sent from my iPhone

Bob –

 

Tried to reply before, but it appears that my reply didn’t make it.

 

All that could be caused by poor electrical connections causing high resistance and low current flow/low voltage.  I’d start with the battery and charging connections and all grounds – especially those to the engine and fuel pump.

I have used JB Weld with modern U.S. fuels and have had no problems with it deteriorating over time. Recently I doped up the threads on my petrol tank fuel line fitting that was seeping and it stopped the leak. I also wiped it over some solder on the bottom of same petrol tank bottom several years ago that was leaking at the spot welds and it has stayed dry.

My experience related to repairing a rusty hole in a PA tank 3 years ago. It was adjacent to the body so wouldn t be seen. I stuck a plate over it with JB Weld but it leaked almost immediately. So I tried again with the same result. I put this down to the high proportion of ethanol in what passes for petrol here in England. Roger

[Bill Hyatt]

Same for Polyester fuel tanks. They dissolve due to Ethanol content.

I'm not suggesting you make a patch out of the stuff, but it works fine as gasket sealant, when gasket sealant doesn't work. For instance my fuel level float always leaked around either the screws or the float itself and JB Weld cured it and it has been leak free for years. We have 10% ethanol in our petrol here.

I can guarantee using a welding torch on your gas tank to fix the leak will put a stop to that problem, permanently!
