Steve,

You say it runs "fairly well", is fairly well something you can live with? I would think $2700 would buy "runs like a top". I'd be reluctant to return to this British car shop, another $1000 might only buy "a little bit better".

One thing I noticed after re-reading your posts is you gapped your sparkplugs at .035, the manual calls for a gap of .023 so if you're running a stock ignition with a sparkplug gap of .035 you're probably going to get some missing. I'd check for proper gap before doing anything else, it'll be the cheapest, easiest thing you can do.
