Stuttering ??

So here`s the problem.Driving home tonight cabby (1.8 Carb) starts stuttering at low revs like fuel starvation then as the revs lower the car just cuts out any advice would be great

Ps looked at the carb and its got a bit of movement on the manifold is this meant to be like this ? Also looks like the gasket is out of position

Cheers Alan 

Mine moves as well, its on a rubber bush. Check your fuel filter, could easily be something as simple as a blocked one! If Its Ok I would take the fuel line off the carb and try turning it over, see if its pumping fuel or not, obviously get a rag or something to stop it going places! I have had this a few times, first time it was a cruddy coil, second i had accidently messed the idle mixture so it was rich (only effects starting though), and recently it was simply a blocked filter and fuel starvation! Just a few things to try, it its pumping Ok then go from there!

The rubber gasket which the carb sits on can split, gives more movement in the carb side to side and air gets into the system and the mixture is weaker, try running the car and move the carb carfully to the left and right, see if the idle changes. 

Well i decided to strip it tonight turned out the carb mount is burst to bitsgot it sealed just now runing better than it ever has :d

Anyone know if the mount comes in a repair kit ? (weber 32/34 carb I think)

If its a mount like this just fit a new one.

I belive your webber uses the same mount as the old Carb, mine did but I had a differnet carb fitted to you before I put my webber on.

Yeah thats the one mark cheers  

Glad I could help, worth looking to see if any other places sell one, euro car part etc in case they are cheaper or better.
i just found the first one on the web
