I'm having issues with my car stalling, which is getting a bit annoying. It only happens when the car is hot and the weather is hot. Basically most of the time the car refuses to idle and just stalls when you come to a stop. Sometimes it picks itself up just before and idles nicely at about 600rpm though. When the weather is a bit cooler it hardly ever stalls and idles around 600-1000rpm.

Anyone experienced this before? Do the carbs (strombergs BTW) just need a bit of a tune or is there something I could fiddle with myself. It's a while since I have had a carb'd car, and I have absolutely zero experience with these types of carbs so any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks
