Idle speed/carburetor problems!

[rizzel]

I have an 1800 driver and have issues with it. Sometimes engine will be fine and will idle fine. Other times the engine speed will drop down to below 100rpm and sometime even cuts out. Also if I push the car a bit, it decides that it really doesn't like it and starts to sputter and jerk. If I turn it off and wait for about 20 mins, it then goes back to normal.

Any advice would be great, thanks

service it....plugs, plug leads, cap, arm, plugs , oil, filters etc

if its on the original 2e2 carb, have a read of my 2e2 repair guide. lots of info on the bits which can go wrong. or just admit defeat and buy a webber conversion

Is that Jenson's strategy?

Seriously, you've been posting about Weber carbs for how long and you still can't spell WEBER?

how do I know if its the original 2e2 carb? not sure where to look

have a look in the 2e2 faq, if it looks like the pictures its a 2e2
2e2 is very complex bit of engineering, with vac pipes and electrical bits all over it. webber is very simple bit of kit

Any ideas how much the webber kit is and where I can get one from? Thanks

Yes that'll do, but it's a few shillings cheaper from here:
