  2. Timing, carburettor adjustment, dirty plugs take your pick. When did you last look at timing carb etc?

    Wire fallen off carburettor idle shutoff valve.
    Air leak. Blanking plate fallen off carburettor.
    Fuel metering valve leak.
    Carburettor icing when the weather cooled down and got damper.
    Wire fallen off spark plug.
    Valve clearances too small.

    Describe what you were doing when the symptoms occurred.

  7. But fouled plugs can cause problems as well as old fuel

  11. If it runs ok but won't idle, check the wire hasn't dropped off the cutoff solenoid on the side of the carb.

    How do your brakes feel, has the servo hose come off, maybe got loose or has split?

    Please upload pictures of your engine bay and some around the carb area

  15. Sounds like your idle screw needs adjustment what carb do you have?

  16. Do the easy stuff first, and check the cutoff valve. It’s the thing sticking out of the LH side of the carb with an electrical connector on it. Check the wire hasn’t dropped off. With the ignition on, dab the wire on the valve terminal. It should click.
