Need a bit of help.
Can't get to the bottom of (what I assume is) the fuel starvation issue.
Engine starts and idles fine and revs ok with no load.
It pulls away and accelerates in 1st up to 2nd but then starts coughing and spluttering and dies.
It won't get above about 20kph.
I need to go round checking everything again and rule out an electrickery problem, but plugs, leads, dizzy cap and coil are all new. Fitted just prior to import.
Fuel pump/glass bowl thingy is also new (blue box job, though) as is the filter just before the carb, which is a replacement weber.
The hand primer on the fuel pump works and I've made sure that petrol is getting up to the filter/carb, but then it's hard to check this once I start driving! I'm wondering if it's either sucking in air, or I've got a bit of dirt in somewhere.
It is possible that the petrol is a bit dodgy, it has been sat for a while, but I put 10 litres in a few days ago.
Any other ideas/suggestions for what I should check?
