Hi, what condition is the fuel filler neck bro? If it is rotten it could be rust in the petrol tank wich in turn feeds to the carb. I had the same problem a while back, would idle all day long but would cut out when attempting to drive. Look at your inline filter under bonnet and see if there is a lot of crap in it.

same here mate i had sand rust and water in mine i fitted a inline filter in the pick up pipe in tank along with one in the engine bay i also did some fishing in the tank with a magnet and now its running ok.

I had this with my 1.1 when I first got it ,ran fine until I needed to get away quick or pull a long hill.Some botcher had fibre glassed the rotton filer neck,result the bits of fibreglass and rust floating in the tank sucked up to the pick up pipe  causeing the problem.I took the sender unit out under the back seat when the tank was nearly empty and fished the bits out.Obviouslly replacing the filer neck with a new one aswell.

thing is the fuel lines have just been replaced . going to have a propper look tommorow cheers for the tips.

you had the carb setup?
