Hi

my 1200 ute has been running perfectly till this afternoon, started it, reversed from the driveway drove few metres and it stalled.

if I hold/rev higher than normal idle it idles but rough like it wants to stall, as soon as you let go of the accelerator pedal it stalls.

Did not replace or change anything, nothing was touched.
Fuel tank is half full, checked the carby if it squirts fuel and it does, fuel float level is spot on. There's oil and water.

I'll check ignition timing but i dont understand why would it change if I havent touched the engine.

Any ideas?

Check to see if the fuel filter is clogged or dirty. That will cause it to run rough/stall out.

problem solved
did the hand on the carby blocking it while revving and after a few revs its idling again
so idle circuit was blocked
