I left it over night came to it next morning and it started fine but same thing when a few revs go on it wont idle then. Its really getting on my nerves now, it must be working otherwise it wouldnt start first time, but what causes the revs to drop off once you put and revs on, and then wont start again? Tried again this morning let it warm up for a few mins and it runs ok. Can this be caused by overfueling as i know it is. Cheers for any help.
mine was doing the same.... it would start and cut out and if you didnt catch it on the throttle first time and keep the revs up it just wouldnt start at all. my problem was the fuel metering unit. i replaced this with one off a turbo i scrapped and new was running well. now mine is spot on every day. hope this helps
