    2.0 Pinto. not running right?

    Hi Guys.
    So I have a 1978, 2.0 Pinto with single weber 32/36 DGAV
    Wasn't running right (Points had burnt out)
    I've fitted new. Points, condenser, HT Leads, Dis cap, rotor arm, plugs.
    Checked all vacuum pipes are clear.

    Will start and run no problem but will only run flat out! / Like choke is on all the time. Will not tick over just cuts out if you tap the throttle.

    So fuel is getting through fine. good spark.

    Was running fine before points burnt out.

    Any ideas what might be wrong?

    Thanks Bryan

    Have you set the ignitiontiming correctly?
    Are the HT leads on the right way?
    Remove the idle jets and blow them through.

    Sounds like massively advanced timing.
