Have you tried servicing any of the ones you have?

I took mine to a carb specialist in Cambuslang and he re-built mine.

Call Stuart on (0141) 6411199, let us know how you get on.

hey yeah ive stripped them down rebuilt them but still no such luck lol the same problem ocurrs cant get them to tick over even when warm and if i sit with the foot on the throttle slighty it will tick over then the carb seems to draw more air and car ticks over fine just cant get to the bottom of it lol how much was it to get it rebuilt mate
thanks dougie

I had bought the parts and think it was only £40 or so for him to carry out the re-build.

Give him a phone, he's a very knowledgable chap.

maybe the manual chock mine had a problem were it kept the carb open making it rev to high on tick over. Your is the opposite i just took my chock of and i rev it in the morning to get warm lol.

hey guys thanks for the help and intrest where do a start lol a had alot of issues with it when a got it engine wise ive rebuilt the top ent camshaft seals followers the lot then one day run out of petrol because i was a trumpet lol and thats wot caused the first carb to play up and never run right after that then the second one a got (second hand) just never ran right from the start lol so a built one from the 2 lol its not to bad if a permanantly run on red ex like a full bottle to 20 quids worth of petrol once the car coughs n splutters for while then clears its not to bad but everytime a dip the clutch it just conks out other times it ticks over fine at 1000rpm think its time to get a conversion kit and throw in my redtop lol
