Oh if I boot it it drives great it's just low speed pulling away and such please advise . (I have done the air leak check and its all good could the carb be too big I have a 1.8 . Thankyou ..

Do both barrels open at the same time, not progressive first one and then the other? if so i suspect its too big. from very distant memory the carb name you mention reminds me of the one fitted to the old 3 ltr ford capri.

abfmk1 . Yes they both open at the same time it would be my typical luck if it is the wrong carb

I think you would do better with a twin progressive choke Weber, which would work fine at low revs and give power at high revs. An example would be a 28/36 DCD
