Engine dies at low RPM

Hi RAMVA!

I have FINALLY just fitted the engine back into my 1975 1303 after a top-end overhaul (AR-code 1300 upgraded to 1584cc with new B&P's with a 34PICT carb/manifold) which I did myself.

When the engine runs it does so but only at a high RPM (when the choke is on). When the revs drop (say at a junction or when the choke is off) the engine stalls.

I haven't touched the carb yet, so it may need tuning to suit the 'new' engine, although it ran ok on the old one. Would this be the carb, or likely something else?

Cheers in advance :-D

Hi Howard - see you've come here as VZi is down again !

I just had the same with my 68 bay

I parked it up a couple of months ago - running fine

Came to move it the other day -, same symptoms as tours - I took the carb off. Cleaned the bowl, took the jets out and blew through all the air ways with the air gun - sorted it a treat :D

Good luck
