Yes, I thought you guys in North America would no have got the carb versions due to the emissions regs (I think) I don't know what type of carb it is. It was not that cold-about 3 or 4 centigrade so doubt it was iced up. I used it again today and it idles really slow especially when first started up-under 1000rpm-more like 700 rpm. In fact its so slow that it tries to stall at tickover and the red dashbord lights flicker as if its about to cut out. I thought the carb would have a mechanism to adjust the idle speed to suit the temperature? Not sure if this gives you any clues but I found a receipt from the previous owner who had the "Thermal part of the choke unit replaced to cure high idle speeds and running on" That was 6000 miles ago. Should I just adjust the idle screw so it idles a bit higher do you think? I see you have a '67 144-I had a '67 142 with twin carbs-great car-wish I'd never sold it-very rare in the UK.
