Engine sputters at idle in my Mehran — what could be the reason?

At idle in neutral o r with clutch pressed, my Mehran’s engine feels shaky and occasionally sputters like it’s about to switch off. RPMs fluctuate slightly. What could be the issue? Maybe plugs, timing, o r vacuum leak?

Idle sputtering is usually due to:

Vacuum leaks loose pipes o r intake leaks

Improper idle RPM setting

Dirty carburetor o r idle jet

Weak ignition coil o r old spark plugs
Start by checking for loose vacuum lines, then have the carburetor cleaned and RPM adjusted to ~900–1000 on petrol.
