The car is 45 Fire with Weber 32 TLF.
The symptoms are:
-Engine dies when throttle is eased and I shift to neutral,
-Car jerks when driving with, say, 1/4 throttle, same when decelerating with gear engaged.
-Idling while stationary is OK, car drives OK when throttle is pushed more than, say, 1/2.
Causes eliminated:
a) Ignition - spark plugs, HT cables, distributor cap
b) Fuel etc. - fuel filter, air filter, advance diaphragm and its hose, econometer hose and sender (it was leaking, but its removal and blinding off the hole on the brake servo hose did not change things too much).
I suspect the mixture is getting too weak somewhere between idle and full throttle and I did not disassemble the carburettor yet. I do not want to play with the mixture screw until 101 % sure it will fix things (well, after all, the screw cannot turn by itself, can it?).
I wonder if I missed something obvious...
Thanx for suggestions.
Edit: Jets and emulsion tube were blown clean.
