poor running help

[Retro-gone.]

dunno why but the capri's started running weird, was fine up to this morning, its as if theres an air leak but but ive checked manifolds and all is tight, you know that lumpy feeling on low revs and tickover? ive gotta keep it above tickover for it to run, and even then its 'up and down' it pops on the overun too, would a faulty condenser give these symptoms?

any ideas boys?

dont all rush at once to help me

 

seems ok now, took top of carb off and got blow off gun in it, slapped a set of new points in , took her for a right good seeing to on the road and seems fine now, fingers crossed chaps

i would have suggested carb or possibly timing but as you said had been fine until earlier then it would have probably been the condensor/points breaking down..

 

fingers crossed!

I'd say take the top off the carb and blow it out and throw some new points at it

Sounded like carb idle jets, but i've been over the workshop playing with Pod the camper with the kids, so only just got to read this.
