Idle has been going up and down a bit, engine stalls, and runs rough all of a sudden, is it the hot weather or could something be wrong?

Hi
It could be the rubber boots on the inlet manifold.

Hi
The inlet manifold is in 3 pieces, the centre T and 2 alloy ends. The rubber boots between the T and the alooy ends can perish, the ycan be changed
in the car but its a a pain, its easier to drop the motor. The idel jet can also block, its on the left side of the carb, its made of brass and has
hex head.

people did put strombergs on them but the solex is a much better idea. it should have a 34pict solex single carbie. check the manifold gasget where
the carbie connect to the top of the manifold as well as the rubber boot things.
also try draining your float bowl and check for gunk that comes out with the fuel. if u get alot of crap coming out. replace your fuel filter and
check your jets for blockages.
does it run differently in different temperatures?

could be not letting enough fuel through when throttle butterfly is fully closed. there are tiny jets that may need blowing clean. if you take off the
carb and turn it upside down(watch out for the fuel in bowl) you can see them. maybe get an air compressor blower onto it

ok! idiot! it was only the fuel pump's earthing wire disconnected itself...
took me a whole day to figure that out!
but now my car sounds like a harley - very annoyingly loud
also backfiring more
any ideas what's going on? a hole in the exhaust perhaps?

Both of those problems sound like an exhaust leak.
