This is an excellent thread! I'll make it 'sticky' so it stays on top of the Murena-subject.
My contribution will be that it's always a good idea to replace distributor cap and rotor before doing any fuelling or ignition maintenance or adjustments. Plugs and leads can be checked and kept if okay, but unless you are on a tight budget, why not replace them with new? The coil should be wiped dry on the top. These are cheap components that can make a significant difference!
Second, get a new set of gaskets for the carburettor and give it a good cleaning with compressed air, WD40, and petrol. A well maintained carburettor don't go wrong, but if any of the fuel and air channels are blocked, it will never perform. On the 2.2, the Solex 34CICF has an O-ring to seal the acceleration pump fuel channel. This O-ring is often incorrectly sized in the gasket kits, and if it's not the right size, fuel will leak out. This can cause running problems!

Lots of things are coming to my mind. Anything that wil wear has to be on stock This is for the 2.2 All engineseals, waterpump, valveseals, rubbers for the enginemounting,radiator,waterhoses, frontscreen, clutchplate complete, lining roof/window, steering all components. There is a lot more I can think of, but it may be better to find a spare car and rip it to parts.
