Try changing the Air Filter - my old car used to do exactly that untill I put the K&N on it. Was at it's worst if you started it from cold without choke.

No it ticks over ok does start good bout 3rd time well we have changed plugs cables distribitor pionts so it has to be the carb it just doesnt want to put no effort it and if it aint the carb its fuel cylinders are ok when we started it at 1 point it had a weak spot like it would rev so far splutter then carry on reving we put some carb cleaner in abd it went fine until i put more fuel in, before you think i am puttin the right fuel in (unleaded) arggghhhhhhhh its winding me up any ideas what else i could look for if a new carb and if it aint fuel cheers........
