here's my recent trouble with my '89 340 DL vario:
when idling (it doesn't matter whether engine is hot or cold), or sometimes even just travelling at very low speeds, it idles really rough and usually ends up cutting out. the rpms jump varying widely from around 300-1000 until finally they drop too low and it dies.
this happened in stop-and-go traffic on the M1 a few weeks ago, and after checking the carb bolts, etc, i had to call out the RAC guy.
he said it was the spring on the manual choke cable that was slipping and causing the engine to flood sometimes. he tweaked a little enough to last for the drive home, but now i need to replace it now. the problem is, the guy drove off before i could ask him to show the part he was talking about. i've looked in the volvo 300 haynes manual and the weber carb haynes manual, but i can't find anything that fits this description.
any advice?
thanks!
