As above my nova 1300 is sore on petrol, its is standard with pierburg 2e carb, standard manifold and standard exhaust with no blow-outs etc

The car can be lumpy to start but what vauxhall isnt and can be jumpy when driving for the first 1milw or so
Its takes over well when warmed but not when cold, can take a few minutes before it would idle normal.

Car has had new sparkplugs, filters and oil change recently also but no change in the car

Any ideas apart from having the carb looked at as ive nevr worked on them before and wouldnt be an expert but willing to try any suggestions

1. its over 20 years old & is probably looser inside than kerry katona..
2. the carb could be worn out, the std autochoke is ropey at best
3. the dizzys wear out too
