If its carb, then its an m10 engine so there isn't one!
Injection m10s have an airslide valve, which sometimes get sticky, not sure if carbs have them though.
It might be a vacuum leeek so check all the pipes, and give anything that has "air" going through a good clean with carb cleaner.
Then go an rev the nuts off it as fast as you can go, usually sorts out an m10...

Hi - if you need any bits to sort out your carb engine, let me know - I'm breaking a 316 carb engine car, manual box, full BMWSH up to 2000 miles ago. Defo a good runner before breaking (well, it was for the 8 miles home!!)
