when it is running does it have a "Puffing" sound in the engine bay?

the vac elbows onthe carbs are prone to coming off, or not being put back on properly, larg 1/2 inch pipes at the bottom of the carbs......

a garage should have found this...

No "puffing" sound that i know off
I will get them to check the pipes but i know they have had the carbs etc all off to check them again

Ok, so garage decided that the carbs were on there last legs so replaced with recon carbs and went like a bomb.
Now, we have a new problem, when u strike it up it starts first time but then wont run on its own and cuts out, once running its seems ok till i want to stop then it cuts out.
Any ideas??
