Yep, she has seen more mud, red dirt, water crossings, overgrown tracks etc in the past three years than I think she ever had in her first 21 years... Before I started running a filter on the snorkel I was forever cleaning bits of tree, bugs and bees out of the air cleaner too, that and plenty of fill ups at country fuel stations. the outside of the carb needs a damn good clean, but I washed the engine bay and degreased the other day, and everything still looks grubby... Was so clean and shiny when I bought it! I'll hit the carb with some cleaner to see how it comes up, but when I get time I will definitely take the car and see the bloke who rebuilt it and see what he can find.

I run 98 whenever I can, as it does go better, but sometimes 91 is all that's available.

I might have a look at the spark to, since it's definitely still rich, inside the exhaust tip is black so I'll pull the plugs on the weekend and check the dizzy just in case, you never know I guess.

If the dizzy vacuum advance diaphragm has gone kaput, it will affect the smooth ignition.
