Yet again i'm on here with ANOTHER problem

So its a 1984 mayfair. When driving it earlier today its decided it wanted to start stalling itself, now it wont idle. When it does decide to idle it's either lumpy or fine and when you rev the car cuts out?

i've look at the distributor, checked the plugs, the cars running lean but not massively! checked the choke and i'm really lost with what it could be the cars really testing me atm!

Inlet air leak?

Was it raining when you were driving?

[giacomo]

it wasn't raining, all be it, it was very wet outside! my grilles pretty open and theres no splash gaurd either

check and/or replace the vacuum advance pipe, as with age the rubber ends don't seal as well. Either letting air or messing with the timing advance.

Possibly water on the electrics then, but you knew that!
