hi all,
new to the scene with carbed cars so im not sure where to start first, i had anew back box fitted yesterday a sportex, it also has a 4-1 manifold on it, basically when driving it wants to die, asif its not getting fuel, idles at 500 also when its on an epy fit i have to give it lots of revs to get it to move and then it dies to or throws me towards the dashbored, i feel like a learner thats put kangaroo juice in my car, anybody got any ideas? what it could be fuel pump plugs etc, it started last night so i just parked it up and hoped for the best got in the car today and its doing the same ):

fuel pump filter could be blocked.. carb could have some crap in it, the dizzy advance retard could be shot, it happens on the old black cap ones. the spark plugs might need renewing.

the spark plugs might need renewing.

And correctly gapping.

Has this problem just manifested itself since the back box was fitted?
