Hello everyone-

I ran the car a little bit low on fuel the other day- not massively low, but since then it idles erratically. It will idle fine on 800 rpm for a minute or so, then splutter until I give it some revs. It also splutters when I put my foot down. Is it the obvious that a bit of ****e has been caught in the carb, or do you think it could be something else?

Cheers & merry Christmas

Davo

Try cleaning out the idle jet fella

take it out and blow it through with an airline

You can use your lungs if needs be;) mine pulls apart into two bits, give it a real good blow:cooter: it's the large flat head screw on the drivers side of the carb.

it will most likely be a bit of ****e, hopefully it's just clogged the idle jet and not anywhere else.
