Quick post as I've not had chance to really check myself yet. Took my 1300 out for the first time yesterday for a spring shake down after Hibernation. Not been used for some time although I start it every month or so. Car starts fine etc. however on acceleration the engine cut our when I went up to 3rd gear?
Seemed fine in 1st and 2nd? I last took it around the block a couple of months ago and it was fine then so I'm guessing something stuck perhaps through lack of use? Any ideas folks?
 
Sorry for delay in response. Believe it or not when I checked the fuel lines running from the Carb back to the tank - One of the hoses where it met the bulkhead simply came off in my hand! No idea how the hose clip worked loose but it did! The in-line fuel filter looked a bit dirty - now I know why!
