i put an air line down my fuel lines to blow any crap through….
and put new fuel filters on in the rubber hose in the engine bay right before the carb….
also might be work removing jets in your carb to check for any blockages…
make sure you do them one by one or draw a diagram and number them so you know which came from where.
when i done this to mine i never had a problem again!!

Go here and read this bud,

my mate had same problem, there are pics shown and how to, once done his was purring again, and also changed the filler neck due to rust.
Also if your doing this, replace the in-line fuel filter next to cam cover on left in engine bay, and replace the fuel/vapour seperator which sits in the centre at the front top part of block with 3 pipes leading to it, bolt'd down with the bracket bolts that secure your front part of air filter box

It only really juddered if i'd been driving it for a while (Long journey) or had been spanking it. Guess it might have been heating the fuel before it reached the engine which was making it play up….

Yea you are right, it does just seem to happen on a longish journey, never when im just popping here or there… Most of the time its after ive been doing about 70mph for a while…..
Ill have a good look this weekend though…

turns out that no 1 and 2 plug leads are nakered, the were jumping off/coming slightly loose and wont sit onto the plug properly, had all the symptoms of fuel starvation though, and theres also a vaccum type thing on the back of the carb and the actuator arm is worn and popping off, that may be a prob too, just a thought (good old AA) seems ok now but its getting a full ignition going over and replacement carb(s)

I know this is short term as I havent removed all the rust from the tank but that will happen shortly but this is defo the best option for curring the starvation situation.. Thanks everyone and thanks for the piccys.. Were a great help… Thats why this site is so good….
