Hi all. Bit new to Rovers, twin carbs....!
I have a 1973 V8 Auto which I've owned since August. It's now starting to play up, very sluggish on take off, needs loads of choke but after ten mins and a bit of throttle its ok for half an hour, then the oil light blinks, the engine coughs a bit. Yesterday I had to limp home after a trip out as it just wanted to conk out choke or no choke and would not idle at standstill at all, when it conked out I had to wait half an hour for it to start again. I'm guessing this is a carb/fuel prob, although I'm completely unfamiliar with the carb set up or which carbs it has? I gather there are tw types used on these cars? The manual is about as clear as mud.....
