Shouldnt be because theres no way to adjust the fuelling on the carb to keep the lamba reading in

A quick update..

Patched the car back together today and changed the fuel filter along with the fuel line, half a bottle of Redex and a change in Petrol.

Took it out for a spin and the performance was a lot better! I'd say it's still only at 85/90% but it's very much drivable which is great!

I've done loads to the car these past two days. A full clean down of the carb will certainly have helped, but i've also attended to other minor issues along the way.

Tomorrow i'll drive it to work (all 30 miles of it) and we'll see how it goes!

Well, it looks like the issue has been resolved! For now anyway..

I'm hoping that maybe it was the fuel filter, but it could well have been a carb issue.

Hopefully the issue won't come back, but I'll keep the thread updated if I manage to find out what was causing it.

Thanks,
Stefan
