Hi,
Cruising down the feeway and everything is fine. Doing about 80 running like a top. Then...feels like it's missing a little and it is back firing, spitting through the carbs. The thing is, it accelerates fine as though nothing is wrong. Only time it happens is at a steady RPM. I'm thinking a carb problem. Could it be a clogged jet or something? Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. It's a 73 with a brand new 2.2 with webers. Only about 500 miles on the new engine. Very frustrating but then what is life without a little 30 year old German sports car?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Cheers, Elliot |

I know that some may disagree with my method of cleaning out carbs, when something appears to be stuck. I usually hand rev the engine up momentary to a blister rpm (pulse) and then place my hand over the carb intake as I'm stabbing the gas, then pull my hand away at the moment of strong vacuum. This usually clears out small blockages that need a nudge.
