Hi, i am new here and i have to admit that i mainly drive two 1961 Landrovers - please don't throw rocks - but i also drive a very comfy and gutsy VS Commodore and i've had an EK, EH and HD.
Point is i have a 202 red motor in one of my Land Rovers and it works fine except for two things. Firstly, it runs pretty rich and i can't seem to lean the carby out and secondly it seems to run like c**p, surging and carrying on when its under load, like flat out up a hill, it will start carrying on then seem to fix itself afterwards. Is this fuel or electrical - points, condenser, coil?
Nothing i do seems to do anything. Any help will be gratefully received.

Surging etc may be dirty jets, clean the carby also check float levels might cure the rich probl

Thanks John for the info, appreciate it. I have had the carby overhauled a little while ago but have run out of juice prior to putting fuel filter on, so that could well be a problem, the fuel tank is 44 years old after all. I will change the leads and
