Post Ticking over
Last weekend oboes car wasn't ticking over so I took this opportunity to rip the piss out of him as mine was.

This week mine isn't ticking over. (Karma is a bitch.) It doesn't even want to make the effort to. It is just dieing when I stop. It is ok when I pull the choke out a little to increase the revs however.

Anyone got any ideas?

That little idle screw thing on the front of the carb fell off off my car once which made it do just that.

If not fallen out, could be blocked - whip it out and clean it up....
