how it goes is this... bought another rx that despite being stood for 3 years in garage still started like a dream....rx '86 series 2 non turbo non PS just good basic fun, running fine but 3 tanks of fuel and 600 miles later has started to do this... runs really lumpy when started up. fine after 5-15 secs but then starts to judder/kangaroo when held steady speed, not too bad but noticeable and does similar when decelerating. car is completely standard but fun!!!!
don't be afraid of the car.

ps got series one 12A carburetted....fancy makiing hill climber from it, any tricks/parts/ideas? scared to tune it but not totally green,,,talk sense to me....

 

Did you drain the fuel tank? I would say its fuel related but can't be sure without more info. Try running some good fuel system cleaner and see if it helps any. You should have done a full tuneup especially since it sat so long(all filters, oil, spark plugs, wires, etc.).

 

put new fuel filter on it rx fuel filter not available at time so cheap and cheerful copy, don't think its fuel supply but then again vapour smell at rear of car when got out of after driving so maybe??
guess it's going to be try and see time!!!
