My Engine Is Not Ideling

That sounds like a float bowl vent may be blocked, or just lack of fuel in the chamber.

 

I dont know what fuel system you have, but it certainly sounds like lack of fuel.

 

Is it just when you take your foot off the pedal or will it not pick up very well when you put your foot down?

Hi guys Vini drove home fine, i then tightened the fan belt as it was a tad loose started him up to check that the voltage was now doing what it should on the voltage gauge and acctually going up while idleing, the only problem is now he wont idle
 
this is a video showing the revs dropping off
 

 
 
 
anyidea what could be causing this to happen, hes got a megajolt ignition which hasnt changed as far as i no,
 Also ignore the fuel gauge as it's not working yet
 
Cheers
