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 |

QUOTE(Elliot Cannon @ Jan 21 2004, 12:34 PM) I don't know how it could have gotten clogged. Brand new engine, carbs, fuel pump and filter, fuel line and cleaned out fuel tank. Heh, that's when it happens. I had problems with clogged jets on my 2.7.....2-3 times in a few months after getting it running. None in the past 18 mos or so. Little pieces of fud ...or FOD, if you prefer, nesting in the idle jets. |
