2.0l CU engine, electronic ignition

Right... A look through old posts of mine will reveal that I've had consistent idling problems in the past. They've struck again on a road in France

Engine was running beautifully until we did a long drive (5hrs plus) in hot weather two days ago. When we arrived the idling was lumpy. It got worse over a short drive today up to the point where it will now no longer idle at all

I've checked the idle solenoids--they seem clear and click when I test them. It's sparking and running fine on the choke/throttle, but has nothing on idle at all

Recent work has included:

New HT leads
New spark plugs
Carbs tuned/adjusted

Any hel before I throw myself on the mercy of a French mechanic (if I can find one in August) would be hugely welcomed

Thanks

James
