The wifes usually uber reliable Honda Civic has developed a fault,it won't tick over,it 'hunts' and stalls all the time,itsstill starting on the button and runs great it just won't tickover,its an old 1300 carb model,I have changed plugs and leads but I think its a petrol issue to be honest,anyone have any ideas? blocked idle jet maybe?   |

Does it have an anti run on valve on the carb? If so remove it and apply 12v to it. The needle should move sharply and only go back to where it was before when the power is removed. If that is playing up then it will give exactly those symptoms it certainlly did when it went on my DAF. It would run perfectly at driving speeds but as soon as it went to the idle it would stop. It would start straight away again with no problem and drive as normal untill allowed to idle and then it would stop.

Seems to be a common problem on Honda's of this age....
If you still need a carb I'll have a word with a mate who's into his retro Honda's.
