Hello again everyone since the baby arrived I haven't had much time to play with the 4L, but now the Fiat has blown a headlamp bulb I need the 4L to get me home from work at night.
When the engine is cold, everything works as well as ever, but once it's warmed up it loses power under torque. I can only accelerate very gently or by using high revs and slipping the clutch. The engine idles fine, and revs well in neutral as long as the throttle is opened slowly.
The misbehaviour feels kind of like a regular misfire, and is either off or on - there is no in-between state. Choke position seems to have no effect.
Any ideas where to look? I'm going to clean the carburettor to see if that helps.
