has your exhaust turned really smokey and is there a strong wiff of petrol? what happened to you happened to me only cause i set up my carb wrong and was burning too much fuel.

so if it is what ive said above get it tuned i did and its fine now.

if its none of the above your carb is wrecked! weber for you now??

carb is already a weber 32/34.
is set up rite.
all fuel filters are clear.
think i'll hav to rebuild it.
i'll try another wack of petrol first

try checking the tank u may hev sum sort ov blockage which u havent spied
thus would limit fuel under load but when u ket it idle to check fuel is pumping through filter all is well

Try a compression test in case the head gasket's gone between 2 adjacent pots. Might be worth checking timing and that the distributor hasn't shifted a little??

agh, sure u have ur leads on the correct plugs, and the leads rnt wet? i get that prob when my leads r wet!! Its like runnin ur engine on just 2 pistons!!

I presume your car will have a mechanical fuel pump? This runs on a cam at the end of the camshaft, Sometimes if the follower wears the pump still works but doesn't create enough pressure, this could be the cause. You will need to remove the pump to look at the follower. Oh yeah and don't but a cheap replacement because it will do the same in about 6 months time.
