Hi guys,
Having a few issues.
When i start the car it idles a little lumpy. I then blip the throttle and when the needle falls back down, it feels like its trying to stall, but it dosnt, the battery light comes on and revs come back, but then they try to rev itself a little bit.
With the last blip, the car engine stalled.
Hard to explain but i have taken a picture to help.
Any advice is much appreciated.

Re: Carr idle and stalling issues
We are talking about the 320-6 i believe.
Does it still has the Solex 4A1 carb?
When the engine is warm the problem is gone?
Did you made any changes at the carb recently?
