Thanks for the response. Much appreciated.

I have done a volume test on the fuel pump which is new and it was good. I forget the exact numbers but it was slightly over that suggested by Colin Duncan of kjet specialists in Australia.

The tank is completely refurbished so I have to assume that there is no crud left inside it. All lines were replaced and I have changed out the under hood filter a couple of times to makes sure I am getting the cleanest supply possible.

I will check on the advance of the timing with higher revs, this seems to be something that a lot of folk are suggesting.

I had to rebuild the fuel distributor myself because it was a solid lump of shellac but I followed very strict cleanliness protocols and watched (many) online videos. Used a kit from Colin Duncan at kjet specialists. I have run a test that confirms that all four injectors are getting the same amount of fuel.

I have been wondering about the plunger in the distributor sticking too.

Thanks Brickbopard.
