hi folks, looking for some of your wisdom... my s3 109 2.6p 6cyl has been standing for about 8 months. Wouldn't start initially but I found water in the tank, drained all out, good petrol back in and now running well, sort of... The problem I have is that while the engine runs idle sitting stationary, as soon as I get into first, then begin to drive off, the revs die, engine cuts out and I say bad words... I've tried leaving the choke on full, engine revs like a sports bike, I get about 3 meters before it cuts out in this case. If the engine is up to temperature and the choke is fully off, ticking over ok standing still, it won't stay running as soon as it begins to move forward unless I rev the living daylights out of it... It has a stromberg 175CD carb which I've tried various settings on the mixture screw on the bottom but no luck yet.
Any pointers out there or something obvious I'm missing???
thanks in advance
