driving home it starts dying again,only kept going with a foot full of gas, but now sounds like a old knackerd tractor!!! pulled up on my drive and the engine was racing again, so poped my bonnet flicked the accelerator on the carb and it settled down. if i put pressure on the accelerator on the carb to close it runs fine!
sounds like i have a leak around my carb!!??

Mines been running like a dog all week, no real reason I can see for it to be running badly, as it was fine the week before, but I know once I get to the bottom of it I'll be back driving with a huge smile on my face

Got it booked in a garage tomoro.
This might sound like a stupid question, but does it run on unleaded or 4*???

the gasket between the carb and inlet manifold was leaking, the carb was full of crud and the fuel has water contamination!
