    That was going on me six mounths ago, arghhhhh!!! , I bought other
    carb!!!!. I think that couldn't be an oil distributor problem, because
    the same problen was going on me and it was not.

    Carb base is ok. Goog vacumm
    No idle problems
    If it get increase the revs up 3000 rpm , no problem . 1000-2000 rpm
    inestable: po pop pop po with jerks and stop with a spit
    light smell petrol

    I'm going mad!!!!, it's second time !!!

    I had a similar problem in a 340 1.7, mainly noticable as stalling at
    junctions or when power is applied. The oil seal is not good on the
    distributor, I found the seal had worn a lip in the cam shaft, and that
    installing the seal in a different place helped. Mine was all the way into
    the head recess, the manual said flush with the head, so installing it flush
    moved it away from the worn lip area.

    All these head mounted disti's have the same problem, my 940 Turbo does it
    too, but to a much lesser degree, it has a substantial disti base place with
    a metal bearing/seal. It just hesitates a bit. Owed to have a
    distributorless ignition!
