[frassum]

Hello,

I've got a 1974 Manta with a stock solex carb. I hadn't started it in about a year and when I tried, the motor would not idle. If I applied the throttle, the motor would stay on. Once the motor warmed up, it idled, but very poorly. When I took it for a drive it ran ok at speed, but when I came to a stop, the motor would occasionally die. I could start it up and give it the gas and it would go.

I'm about to do a carb rebuild, but would appreciate any advice offered.

Thanks,

John
