Unless it's a bad plug or tight valves, I can't imagine it cracking 100mph n 3 cylinders I think it was maybe firing at high revs but the pipe was cold by the time I got home.

In reality, the valve doesn't seem to work as petrol runs in all positions of the tap, even with the vacuum pipe disconnected.
