Default 401 too

Have just bought a 401 at auction. Misfire & acts like fuel starvation. Replaced distributor, rotor, condenser, spark plugs ... no change. Replaced leads & caps and was great for a few miles but now at over about 45mph feels like fuel starvation too.

My pump has dirty looking fuel (my Redex?) well up the glass bowl.

I had not thought of changing the coil nor of looking in the carbs ... fuel squirts down the barrels very nicely on my driveway anyway. I have the patience for all this, but do I have the time? Aaaaaargh.
