Hi all I am looking at a 80 fitted with the above engine. When I went to view it, the owner mentioned that it had just picked up an idle problem, probably the result of a cloged inlet in the tank, as the regular filter was newly replaced.
The car ran and seemed to run very well, except that it would not idle and you had to keep the revs up. when it did sometimes idle, it surged and then died soon after.
I looked for obvious things like idle-up vac pipes come off but all seemed ok.
Does fuel stavation due to a cloged tank pick-up sound likely??
Anything else I can try
What are the things to look out for when these babies do not idle.
Cheers
