Hi Guys
looking for some help with a problem with my A1, I went to start it today after not using it for a month only to discover the fuel hose had split, replaced the fuel hose and eventually managed to start it but after a minute or so the revs start
rising quickly without any use of the throttle, I assumed when I routed the new hose I had trapped the throttle cable or carb linkage but it seems clear any ideas
thanks
Paul
