If the problem is only under load when there is a higher demand for fuel
and the jets ( float and main carb) are squeaky clean I would suspect a
wee tear in the carb piston skirt allowing air to bleed in and lean out the
mixture always worth checking as it costs nowt.
OTO I had a Hunter behaving like that but in that case it was a leaky
mechanical fuel pump it ran beautifully below 35mph soon as the demand for
fuel ( hill loud pedal etc) went up it bled air in through a porous membrane
and emptied the float chamber - the bugger was as an auto the engine cut out
but kept turning and as the car slowed the float chamber filled

Hi Derek, problems just started since lpg fitting though. it has to be
related to that. Patrick

Did you alter the timing for the gas?
