When the engines cold and i start it up to tick over i need to hold it at 1000 revs to keep it from cutting out.
Do that for a couple of minutes and make my way down the road, and whenever i need to stop it would idle just under 500.
After a 10 minute drive it'l be fine.
What could it be? Benn fine for ages as it was doing it a while ago, and a mate checked the idle control valve. But it started again yesterday after id had been raining. Could it be that water is getting into my BFO cone from my vent? Will put airbox back on anyway, so whilst at it see if it makes a difference...
Cheers
Gaz.

where can i find the auto choke. Could being cold be a reason for this? As it's fine after 10 minutes till it gets cold again...

get some carb/injector cleaner and spray into your air intake,
if it works then it will save you £££ if not then you havnt lost anything.
