While I'm really happy with the way the wench has been running on my road trip I am wondering why she runs rough as if I don't let it sit and idle to warm up before I take off and often if I stop for a short time (2-5 minutes) it runs rough again for a short time after I move off, it's not as if in this short time it would have cooled down much. I know that the choke is operating as it makes a big difference if I dont push the accelerator down first when starting from cold. Any suggestions.
PS
if this is in the wrong section and gets moved I'll know to check in the tech section and my appologies.
Thanks
Don

on your travels if you come across some gypsies ask them to check their crystal ball it may hold the answer 😂

car forums. where a lot of peoples good intentions end up taking a good old car off the road forever never ever to see the road again. 🥲

Hi Don
Your inlet manifold isn't freezing up???

Nope not freezing up Lee only runs rough for a short period? About 30 seconfsvtp s minute I'd guess. No cam070 I didnt change the seals, too bloody lazy, you may be onto something there, i may try spraying some WD40 or the like around them see if it alters the idle.
Thanks fellas
