car cut out a low revs
i know that my car has a bad earth, but would it cut out at low revs when it is running?
bump started the car and as long as i kept the revs up the engine runs, but take your foot off the accelerator and the engine dies?
is this an electrical problem or is it a mixture of problems?

in the short term you could just wind the throttle cable up a bit, so it idles higher. Could be a multitude of problems. How well tuned is your engine
(not how powerful, but has it been on a rolling road etc?) Id start with checking emissions and voltages.

If it has one you did remember to run an ignition live to the anti-run-on valve on the carb didn't you?
Are you a Mac user or a retard?
