Hi, I have an 80 with a 2 ltr. engine in it, which I have owned for 51 years, rebuilt three times, so you’d think I’d know what I was doing by now. Used to run it on propane from a gas bottle in the back in the seventies through a home made conversion, then had it on an old SU off a mini on it for donkeys years. I’ve just put the original carb back on, with new diaphragms in the accelerator pump, it starts beautifully, idles beautifully, then stalls when I press the accelerator. I’ve cleaned the heck out of it, but to no avail. Any suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers
