Took her out for a run today, she hasn`t been out since mid november when we had a flawless run up to Whitby and back anyway, today she started first time went out and the problem appeared where when you pull away in either 1st or 2nd the revs die. When you are running along at 30/40mph no problems, just when you pull away. The fuel pump sounds to be ok as you can hear it ticking nicely. At one point she died and would not start at a set of traffic lights so had to push her round the corner, when after a quick check under the bonnet she started but the same symptoms happened all the way home, keeping the revs up seemed to help.
Checked the plugs and they were a healthy straw colour, as the manifold was still hot I did not want to check the float chamber for crud in case of spillages, but will do that tomorrow. I am thinking fuel starvation due to crud as I had to put a couple of gallons in today due to her needing some as she was nearly empty. After reading some other posts though some suggest it could be a failed condensor.
Also thank goodness to the solar trickle charger keeping the battery topped up as I had to crank the engine a fair bit when she would not start
