That's what I expected Kris! ;)

Usually when an engine starts cutting out at low revs it often means dirty or blocked components, and what often sorts the problems out is a major service, with plugs, all filters and of course, oil, along with a good clean out of anything that can effect the performance. In the old days this included the carburetta, distributer and points which so often cured all ills. :y  

This approach still does, especially when you do it yourself! 8-)
