My series 3, 2.25 petrol has been running fine up until yesterday and today. It starts fine, runs well with choke on, but as soon as I push choke in, it cuts out, even when its warmed up.. If I pull choke out again it starts fine again, and so on. It has a webber carb on it. Any ideas? :D

Just a query really. On my 88" 1971, I have upgraded my brakes to dual circuit, servo assisted, with 11" 109 front drums etc. Being from a 109" they have 2 cylinders per wheel on the front. When plumbing in the master cylinder on a standard 88" the port furthest from the servo is used. I read...
