Some of you have followed my travails. When I got Pickle a year ago she was stuttering and backfiring on the way home and it turned out to be a cracked rotor. Since then I have rebuilt the Webers, new SS fuel lines, new fuel pump, new fuel filters ,etc.
Well, she backfires occasionally , usually on even throttle when under some stress (going up a hill). Today, after throwing her through some severe twisties, she started backfiring horribly, then started to stall, and died. I opened up the distributor and wiped off the end of the rotor while looking for cracks. She fired right up and ran home perfectly...purring. I don't think the distributor had anything to do with fixing her, but not sure. Almost seems to do with tossing her around. Float sticking? Dislodging crud (tank was clean...new filters, etc.) No freakin' idea really. ??? |
