The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Thank you all very much for your very helpful replies.

I will get a new battery and at the weekend check out the points and plugs to start with and if that doesn't work try some of the more involved remedies you all mention! I did wonder if part of the problem was because I had let the petrol get low and maybe the petrol that was left in the tank was mucky and had clogged things up - nuggets were inserted some years back when the petrol changed to unleaded. Will let you know after the weekend if/what has solved the problem!

Many thanks again.

1850s and Sprints don't need lead and, even if they did, these things don't actually do anything.

Thank you to all those that responded to my TD 1850 dilema back in September. Just a quick note to say thank you and that I haven't forgotten all your ideas and will get back to the forum when I have had chance to try them out. Unfortunately, other things have taken over since I contacted the forum and the Dolly problems have had to take second fiddle but, as soon as I have some free time, I will get back to sorting Dolly out so that I can be proud of her once again and will be back on the forum!
