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. ??? |

Just remember that some of the valves will be open, so whatever you blow in there better not be bad for your drive train. Some people use a shop-vac run in reverse, but i'd be afraid to get all kinds of dirt blown into my cylinders that way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) |

Well...filled her up and added a half can of Valvoline Water Evaporater. She's MUCH better....could only get her to back fire once. Same circumstances...applying light throttle after a steady throttle . Did it before she was warmed up too (Webers...no choke...chilly out). Usually she'll do this a dozen times on a similar twenty mile journey. I'm thinking (fingers crossed) that she may be "healed".
