hello mate

what is a milage on the clock? have you stored the maintenance records?

start with both fuel and air filter changing. when was yr fuel filter last changed and check with air presence in fuel system first. are you sure your T/C works properly depending on the engine load? when were fuel valves last idle tested? as you see there are many points to be cleared.

please revert with more detailed info what is going on with yr engine
