Hi guys,my name is Naome I drive a golf 1 "82 Carb,lately my car is struggeling to start after a few attempts it slowely starts to idle but when I accelerate it dies,only rev's up if I accelerate a little bit but also doesn't want to idle,I must keep giving fuel and the fumes comes threw strong.Everytime I stop I must rev the car so that it doesn't stall,my car is also heavy on fuel lately,didn't have that problem before and started with one go in the past,took the carb off to clean and check for leaks but still struggeling with the same problem.Also strange when I want to turn left or right while driving it begins to stall as if its not getting enough fuel or power threw and again I must rev the car.what can the cause be,any advise will help please.Thanx

I would get the carb fully serviced and recheck timing with a timing lamp.
