HELP NEEEDED with a 3.5 V8
evening all have just got the latest edition to the collection which is a 3.5 v8 (carb) 110 home
im needing a little bit of help getting her running right

the problem goes ...
will start on full choke and won't come off full choke until the engine has got up to temp which isn't to much of a problem however on choke or off it runs very very rough and has little to no power the revs won't pick up ect ... i know very little about these engines I'm a tdi man myself .. the landy has stood for several years so I'm sure the carbs are gummed up , I've drained all the old fuel and started fresh .. but I'm out of ideas at that !

if anyone lives near reading berkshire and has some time and knowledge and fancies some beer tokens i would happily pay to have it fixed at my yard. i have most tools required and am wiling to help !
please feel free to get in touch !
many thanks dan
