ok here are two videos of my car dying...whats going on? What should I check or do? There is a popping coming out of piston # 2 and 4...it looks like fuel is spraying out when the pop happens, and when the motor shuts off a small plume of white smoke comes out of piston#1. When I speak of the fuel and smoke coming, I am talking about it coming out of the top of the velocity stacks...It idles at 450 ish right now...odd...Skline, when you fired it up, it idled at around 900ish...like it should...Anyone have any opinions? Hopefully the videos will work...if not I will post them on imagestation or something when I get back from DMV...ciao! lol (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Did you get a timing light like I told you? You also need to see if you can get a carb sync tool. Buy one, or borrow one, Arron said he had one and he is not that far from you. Also, did you recheck your valve adjustment? All of these are factors. Most carbs engines pop once in awhile through the carbs, but from what you said, it sure sounds like the timing is off. Check all those things and then call me. Good luck. |
