Subject: 3 improvements or faults corrected on my DB3ltr
In the beginning the car often stopped after some more demanding driving or when slow in towns. Reason was overheating of the coil ! since I moved it up (see photo) no more such problems
I replaced one of the 6V batteries by a black wooden box (see photo) made to fit and run with only one modern (but black)12V batterie. These modern batteries are more powerful per volume so this one has about the same capacity as the two 6V ones and one 12V is cheaper than only one 6V.
For the second time now I had air leakage through the suction tubing to the windscreen wiper reservoir (driven by vacuum from the suction of the engine) This tubing is becoming brittle. This smal tubing is next to the vacuum to the brake servo (see photo). Result of leakage is uneven running when idling.
