Hi all!

Last few months i've had poor running on my nova, at first we thought it was the vacuum pipe from the servo/servo related, and it kind of was, but now I think it might be the carb instead
atm it idles quite rough but picks up ok and when I'm accelerating along at low revs i get the occasional jurk delay/missfire, also keeps stalling when cold,

I've cleaned the plugs, rotor arm dissy and coil are newish, air filter is clean, cleaned the gunk out the crankcase breather, cleaned the screw out jets at the top of the carb, fiddled with the mixture and idle, still not right, any ideas?

Its a 1985 1.2, 190,000miles, new head gasket and head skimmed a couple of years back , single choke pierburg

Cheers
