I own a 74 1.8 with a single Weber carb. I know its not the best set up but it's what I own. What is the best fuel pump to use for these carbs? I have an electric Facet pump on the car now. Car bogs down in the corners and will not idle or run smoothly when it gets hot. Plugs look good - fluffy tan/brown color. Mechanic said maybe pump is going bad, fuel starvation coming out of corners or when hot. Looking for opinions before I do the start to replace parts and maybe that will cure the problem. Thanks.

Certainly worth checking the filter,also take the top off the carb and check the float level , personally not a fan of these pumps but they do rattle away for a long time so maybe it is just filter or float level.
I think these carbs also have a fine plastic filter on the inlet,most don't clean them or know they are there. Good luck. |
