What engine? what mileage? does it do this every change?

If its a carb sounds luike the same problem that I was having both when I fitted my k+n to my pierburg and recently when I fitted my 32/34 weber.

Try when waiting at a junction/traffic lights (where safe to do:) reving the engine with the clutch in past the point where it doesn't work then switch the engine off and then on again. I found that the problem was sorted after this for the rest of the journey.

I put up with it for about 6-8 journeys after this and then noticed that the problem has gone. I would be very interested to see if you get the same result. I never actually found what the problem was but I think it was a blocked jet or somit.

good luck.

Possibly a blocked idle jet or air leak if you have a carb
