So, car doesn't start in the cold as well as it used to (from what i can remember last year), The engine doesn't sound like it's humming constantly like it should be once it's started (if that makes sense)

Also, whilst driving, sometimes the car will randomly jolt and then keep on going about it's business.

Thirdly, when i go around a corner, and get back on the go pedal, the car seems to cough and splutter (I'm not burying my foot in the floor or anything)

It's a 77 stocko 998.

Maybe not a good time to post this when you are thinking about selling this car for $7,000! :shock:

Could be a float level issue? Running too rich and needs adjustment? Sounds like a carbi issue to me or fuel supply problem?

Not like i would sell the car with the issue.
Car's my daily, these things get dealt with swiftly. Just thought I'd put it out here to see what people think.
