OKay- 70' 1.8L, with dueling Dellorto's 40mm.
Car runs sweeeet, perfect.
Then starts running crappy. Hmph, thinks I. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
Pointless ign, I check the rotor anyhow, and swap it.
Test Drive, LOTS of pinging, and at 1/3 throttle or less the car just LUGS does not even try to accelerate below 2500RPM. get the RPM's up and it starts pulling.
Smells funny.. ..weird oilt smell. ..not burning. Just oily.
Any guesses.. .?
Not *quite* sure I understand it yet.
But I found what seemed to be the problem.

lots of pinging, hard starting, running hot.
I check timing: dead on (static anyhows).



Man, that sounds a lot like way advanced timing to me...have you checked the timing with the engine at idle? Not sure which dizzy you're using (stock,009,050...) but something might have run amok with the advance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
