it could be that it needs a tune, or that you havent let it warm up enough.

Secondly, when were the plugs and points changed? Also, how clean is the rest of the ignition system - leads, inside and outside of distributor cap, low tension wiring connections, coil?
Have you checked the ignition timing, both for base timing and that the vacuum and mechanical advance are working too?

how do you know all this Paul when you dont own a 1.1 lol![]()
Cos its a conventional ignition system like any other 70s or 80s car would have!

If you have it, a check with the gas analyser is handy. But it sounds overwhelmingly like an ignition (not fuel) problem to me.
After that, you'd have to swap test components, or hook the car up to more sophisticated equipment which can measure the voltage (in kilovolts) being delivered to each spark plug.

The one thing I would recommend doing is replacing the flexible mount between the carb and the intake manifold. This has a tendancy to crack with old age. Replacing this in conjunction with a thorough clean up/replacement of various parts of the ignition system as previously mentioned in this post made a vast improvement on my now dearly departed lemon yellow 1.1 many years ago…
It pains me to think I scrapped a solid mk1 shell, I think the amount of rust in my current resto is some kind of sick mk1 retribution…
