Stalling problem, any ideas? TIA

Can you help?

My car starts fine with a little choke (Sometimes needs a couple of trys when cold). But when I'm driving along and stop for traffic, or a junction, the revs drop to nill. I give it some gas and the problem goes away on its own (If I keep the revs up for a couple of minutes).

When the engine's warm the problem disapears, it's just when I'm at idle with a cold engine...

Is this a carb set up problem???

A guy I know mumbled something vague about a worn auto choke on the carb (A Solex, although I'm not sure which one yet as the car is new to me). Not sure if it makes any difference but the car used to be an auto and the previous owner dropped in a manual box, I'm still discovering all of his 'handy work'...

Thanks,

Tim

PS like the new board, the FAQ section is great!

I had the same problem until I replaced my points and condensor with an electronic ignition set-up. This baby is great. All of my idle/staling problems went away.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
