Hi All,


Have a prob with the Pierburg carb on my 1.8.

When sat for a while, be it overnight or a few days, once started it runs quite rough.

If you gently accelerate it runs fine, but if you quickly accelerate it stutters - as it there is an air lock (?) or something. Once warmed up it's fine...

Not knowing much about these things, could anyone advise me as to what the problem could be?

I have a Weber to replace it with, would it be prudent to replace it with that?

Cheers

Neil
