Weber carb problem

Hi everyone, I have a problem, i've got a weber 32/34 carb fitted now to my golf clipper (just whilst i get some money together to have a play with my peirburg)..  Problem is, having just fitted it, I went to start the car, it wouldn't idle at first, had to keep my foot on accelerator and then it just hunted from around 400rpm to 2500rpm, now i've got it so it will stay running without any help from myself but it's still hunting around those figures, it nearly actually stalls (the battery light comes on before it goes back to 3000rpm again for a second or so, then again to 400rpm)

I've had a play with the idle screw and the co2 screw but it doesn't seem to make a difference..

The vac lines are set up as follows, from back of carb to brake servo line…

One from dizzy to other brake servo line (i think)

That's it, it has a k&n filter on it and that has no more lines available unlike the original air filter…

Anyone help, have I done something stupid/Obviously wrong??

Thanks

Hi, i've set it up properly ensuring it's exactly as described in peddersgolf how to, it's still doing the same, it starts ok, then after it revs up to 3000rpm it just drops down and now stops running, I can't even get it to idle to set it up properly, have tried adjusting the idle and co2 screw to no effect..

I've renewed all the vac pipes…

Anyone got any ideas??

Don't know how ot put pics up, it doesn't let me…

Right, i've now got it running after refitting it, must've been loose..

Now though it idles at around 1500rpm, and it's hunting, if i get anywhere near 850 rpm with the idle screw on the front of the carb it just cuts out…

The co2 screw seems to do nothing when adjusted…

I'm gonna have a look at the timing tomorrow and take it to the garage for them to set it up properly i think…

Is there anything obvious that i've done before i take it to them anyone?

Thnanks..
