Ok well I've been for my first proper drive in the 2cv, and it was great. However, when it got warm, when your foot was on the floor going up hill, or even with hardly any throttle on at all, there would be an occasional miss that you could feel, no real loss of power just abit stuttery. I think it only started doing it when it got warmed up. Does it just need a service or is there anything in particular regarding ignition that could cause it? I know it seems like nothing but I'm worried the first time I use it to go to college it's gonna mega embarass me by conking out or something. :lol: any ideas?

Or perhaps it's running far too lean on the first choke, if it's still on the original jetting? ;)
