Sorry, I don't have a name to call u. As a mechanic, I've found that most engine problems usually allow the engine to at least idle - even wrong ignition timing can be forgiving ( up to a point). Incorrect air/fuel ratio is responsible for many poor idle/bad behavior problems. Once you get that engine running mate, restrict the carb air intake with your hand or a rag and watch what happens. If the engine stabilises and runs smoother then you've just touched the offending area. What that would tell you is that the air/fuel ratio is way too lean and that engine ain't gonna want to boogie with it. It's either caused by a massive vacuum leak or more likely a prob' with the carb'. Does it have an idle stop solanoid? I'm limited for time - someone's at the door - watch this space - RobMy aim is not to conquer my space, but to conquer all my fears.
