When ever i start my 1.2 Carb Nova up in the morning its starts up fine, how ever it seems to cut out when ever I come to a stop, say to a set of traffic lights.

But it will stay on with the choke out, but i dont like usin it cause it aint meant to be good for too long or something.

Is it just coz its maybe cold
any ideas??
:? :?

you could try turning the idle up a bit, its just a screw on the side somewhere i think. My capri kept cutting out at junctions ect.. so i turned all the way up, it was idling about 3000rpm lol

If you have K&N filter, then its filter icing. Bad news now... With the winter time progresses it will only get worse... Sorry. If its standart fitler then make sure your hot airfeed pipe connected up and did not come loose. Does it stalls when the engine is hot? Or is it when its just started running?!

Yep, i have got a K&N bolt on there, will be taking it off, and it can ocasionally stall when warmed up, especially when the wether is cold.
