fully functioning ignition system is vital for a well-performing petrol Land Rover. It is often said most suspected carburettor issues are actually caused by the ignition system, and it is partly true. Ignition components are required to work in harmony for the spark to happen at the correct time and in the correct place, so this needs to be confirmed before you even think of issues around delicately balancing the mix of fuel and air in the carb.
