You may need to flip the accel. pump lever on the rh side of the carby if it hits the alternator, some need grinding too.

Is the carb bolted on securely? I had an instance once when I was taking corners, the carb was loose on the manifold and so leaned out the mixture (to the max) and it hesitated around corners...

will check it out... didn't think to check if the carb was loose.

dont really know... have only had the car for a few weeks... we drove it home from Warrnambool and it stuttered and carried on until we were on the freeway and i just assumed it was coz it was cold... When we started it the next day it was really hard to start and took a few minutes to get it fired up. I had planned to have it checked over for anything obvious that needed fixing etc so put it in to be tuned as well. Car is now easier to start - though it still takes a few minutes. so am now wondering if its the carby at fault for all the things that it is doing.
I will change the carb and see what happens.

An update on mine which confirms the play in the throttle shaft.
Did some tweaking yesterday. Richened the mixture and got reasonable response but high idle. Reduced the idle but responsiveness off the mark suffered when hot. It drives ok but the idle is a little high when you pull up. I might play with the settings some more on the weekend.

Brendan,
You could try a little bit of grease on Your carby shafts...
to stop the wear and air leakage....
and make sure the automatic choke works....
if you have cold weather....
Does the manifold heat up OK?
that can cause problems, especially in cold weather...
You may be running everything too rich..??

Lee,
Manifold preheater is working properly. Good tip on the grease though, some dry lube might assist in the sealing and allow me to tune it better.
I haven't checked the plugs yet. They will be black.
