URGENT!! 1.3 dies on throttle

Just got the car back from MOT and on full throttle the engine dies.

Idles fine but when the throttle is pressed the engine starts to choke.

I'm currently stuck on the side of the road with little to no tools. So help is urgent.

Thanks

The garage adjusted the carb as it failed on emissions and now I have this issue.

Does it run with choke on . Is the vac pipe to brake servo connected properly. What have they adjusted on the carb

Vac pipe is in fine and I've got no idea what they've adjusted as the garage was shut when I picked up the car. Just going to ring them Monday and get them to come and sort it out as prior to the MOT the car was running spot on.

Probably turned the fuel screw in restricting the fuel flow. It’s enough to idle and get through MOT on lower emissions but not for full acceleration. I used to turn mine down but too much would mess the fuelling up. Open it up a few turns and see if it helps.
