Can anyone help or advise me pls? I have just put my car back together after a valve broke. All is fine except,, when i press the accelerator,, the will nearly stall for a sec then rev normally. I have let it warm up and still the same.. what is this? carb problem?

it seems i have to rev slowly in the first place for it not to happen :scratch:

Check the accelerator pump jet is squirting nicely first, could be that its got abit of dirt in there.
Its the nozzle you see pointing towards the venturi, its should squirt a nice stream when the move the accelerator

k well... I took the carb out cos i think the jes isn't squirting like it should.. Ive opened up the carb.. and so far taken out the jet (in the float chamber.. accelerator pump jet?) and have cleaned that out.. but this isnt going to make it squirt better is it?

ok think i understand what you were saying now... (the brass tube pointing in the venturi..like a small tap? lol) i think that maybe blocked a bit... is it possible to remove this and clean it inside??

Update: I took out the accelerator pump jet (tap looking thing that squirts pertrol into the venturi) and cleaned it. Its squirting fine now,,except its still hessistates wen i put my foot down quickly (on idle). But its ok when applying throttle slowly..

I'll be taking my car to Colin to have a look.

I have this exact same problem although I working away so been unable to investigfate further. However I did notice on mine there is a delay between me openign the throttle and the accel pump jet lever going in due to a weak spring or something.
