Took a drive up to the foothills today. I Don't know much about mechanics so I have questions (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
Driving along the highway it seemed to be losing more and more power. The elevation change was from under 100 feet to up to around 3000 ft.. So from the little I know, it's the carbs right? The idle was really low when up high and it kept wanting to die, but when we got back down low it idled fine. Also, while driving some twisty mountain roads, suddenly my brakes go out. Push them all the way to the floor and barely anything. Shit. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) But when pumped 2 or 3 times they'd work. Brakes need to be bled? Or what could it be? Why would they suddenly just start acting up? It was an interesting drive home.. Help (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
