My Dad's kitcar is running a bit sick. I went out in it on Saturday and all was well until it developed a misfire. On light load it was ok but it did not like getting a good rev it popped and backfired as well. I limped it home and found it had plenty of spark so I'm not sure it's ignition related. It's also got a weep of fuel from the carb. It's a weber with the auto choke. It leaks fuel from a some square cover with an arm that moves in and out. Does any one have any ideas?

Fix the leak anyway. Having a bad guess I'd say it's possibly the coil. Do check the condition of the points & distributor cap. If points are pitted change them and the condenser too - all cheap and easy to do.

That cover is the accelerator pump. Could be giving you problems if it's not working or if it's letting fuel by.. Sounds like the carb needs a good overhaul before you go any further.

If you have a fuel leak that will lower the fuel pressure. That will cause the symptoms you're describing.
The other problem with fuel leaking in the engine bay is that it can easily set the car on fire. So probably a good idea not to drive it and get that leak sorted.
See if that fixes the rough running issue.
