Hi guys,
Currently we have a 1981 Peugeot 504 with a TMIMA carburetor engine. Recently we had the carburetor rebuilt and tuned, but the car still will not run properly - it runs roughly at idle and stalls when you push the accelerator down too fast - or when you try to move the car (i.e. under load). Once you get the revs up it runs nicely though.
It does not have a choke but still exhibits this behaviour even when the choke is manually fixed on. Also I have tried adjusting the ignition timing but doing so (either way) only results in it backfiring (more) than it does now.
I have linked to a couple of videos showing the problem - any pointers as to what to troubleshoot would be much appreciated please!
