Sprint stalling when stopping

Evening,
Managed to wake the Sprint up after the enforced lock down.
Started really easily and ran well but on the run home started to stall as I stopped at traffic lights and roundabouts.
Any thoughts ?
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark.
Could be dirt in the idle jets, or stale fuel.
A bit of fresh petrol and a good blast could clear it, or the jets can be cleaned fairly easily without a full strip down.
Getting near time to hibernate the cars isn't it, seems like we've not even got going this year with all that's gone on

Hi Kev,
Yes I’ll give her a blast with some fresh fuel.
It’s been a strange old year and the chap who owns the barn where I store her had a knee op, covid and pneumonia !!!
But yes soon be that time and big plans for 2021 instead!

Idle jets, easy to take out and clean.
