Has not been right sice it died on the way home a few weeks ago. Think maybe the rolling road is my best tool to use but wonder if anyone has any ideas first?? Very frustrating 44 mile round trip to lincoln today. All the obvious things have been eliminated. I am sure it is something simple but what else can people suggest??
2.1 pinto with twin webers. I dont think enough fuel is going through when you watch the fuel filter, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Car has not had any issues for previous 7000 miles so no clues there.
Hi chirs
sorry to here your having some truble with the car.
It sounds like there is blocked ideil jet. This is way when you give it beans it runs. The ideil jet as it is called isn't for keeping the car on tick-over. The jet is for second progesion it's the most important jet. Give me a call when you get a chance and I will try to talk you though it.

Default Thanks frankie

thanks frankie, thinking maybe fuel breather pipe also to be checked, all 4 jets in both carbs been removed and cleaned so they are out of the equation (They werent blocked) tried a few things thought i would ask if the xombined masses brainpower had any ideas.
Misfiring across the full rev range now.

What sort of choke set up do you have? It may be playing up if it's only after the engine is warm!
