Hi Finn,

I'm not familiar with your carb and manifold setup.  Do you have a picture.
 Also,  I need to know what sort of ignition set-up you have.  Sounds like
some sot of ignition cross fire.  Can't prognosticate any more until I see
what you have.

Can I also assume that you have a water 'pressure' gauge as well as a temp
gauge? Is it mechanical or electric.  The pump always produces pressure.
 It is VERY rare, but I have seen an impeller slip on the pump shaft,  so I
would at least be replacing the pump.  Water pressure should not go to
zero!
