When I start the car up (with a few pumps on the gas) it fires up fine then drops the revs and cuts out after a couple of seconds. If I repeat this process a couple of times it then runs fine.
If it doesn't cut out first time, it does as soon as I rev it. Sounds like it's struggling when I do rev it, then cuts out.
Once this is over and done with, it works totally fine for the rest of the day.
So far, I've changed most of the pipes as I thought it would be an air intake issue but doesn't seem to have fixed it. I wondered if it was something to do with the auto choke but not 100% sure…
Any wisdom would be hugely appreciated.
Happy to do a video to support this if it helps

Or did the manual choke fix it?
