Default Carburation

Alternator working, new battery fitted and another step closer to the open road.

Next problem is carburation. The engine is a 100AB2 and it has triple SU down drafts. Not sure which model but they have the bistarter (choke) control.

I can get the tick over down to 1,500 rpm . It sits there for a while then drops to 950 - 1,000 and cuts out. The other problem is that when the clutch is depressed tick over drops by 300 rpm.

Any wise words would be appreciated!
