Hey all, I dunno but this may be a pain of a problem but I guess I may as well ask here seeming there seems to be at least a couple of smart ones here :).
Basically, when I start my 1972 1600 Super Bug in the morning and at the moment it is reasonably cold, I usually try to let her warm up for about
5mins before I head off. The problem is, that if I leave her idling much more than 30secs she goes to stall, so I have to put my foot on the accelerator.As I drive down my hill then get to the bottom, I slow down to turn onto the main road, and as I turn and start to put my foot down I get a bit of power and then almost nothing, she kinda goes back to idle, not quite stalling but close to. This happens a few times on my way to school, usually under load, ie. up hills or from lights. By the time I get to school she is all warmed up and then seems to be fine.
At times it was doing this also when she was warm but I checked the points gap and readjusted it cause it was way out. This stopped it from happening when she is warm but she still does it a reasonable amount of the time when she is cold.
I was thinking maybe a choke problem, ie its not actually activating itself properly, something I am yet to check. I have checked the points gap about 3 times now and its perfect so its deffinately not that.
Is there anything else it could be???
I know this was a long story to get to what was probably in the end a really simple problem to explain but oh well thats me. Thanks to anyone that actually reads this whole thing through.
Thanks heaps, any help or suggestions would be great,
Chris
