Tracking a performance problem on my stock 74 1.8 FI and would appreciate any thoughts:
Sluggish in 3rd and above and wondering if fuel is the issue. starts and idles well,good compression, recent tuneup and valve adjustment although I did it myself... 32psi at idle, 29psi at 3000rpm measured at the CSV, volume only 1.0 liter perminute, no visible kinks or bundle in the tank. Any thoughts? I will be double checking the vacuum advance and timing just in case... |

Thanks Dave -no I really did mean 0.5l in 30 seconds - although that is just using the arm to run the pump ie maybe my battery is a bit low? -but what about a steady 29
Psi? Would that still provide adequate fuel? Do you think a restricted fuel one could provide both enough pressure but limited volume? |
