The Problem: Car is hard to start. It backfires through the carb on light accel. It backfires through exhaust on decel. And it idles very low and wants to die after stopping. Runs fantastic on wide open. The Facts: Weber 40IDFs (freshly rebuilt and tuned, ran great for about 500 miles) Freshly Rebuilt engine (ran fine for around 2000 miles) All new ignition system (distributor, plugs, points, wires) Newer Tarret Fuel Pump (front mounted) Rubber fuel lines from tank to engine (not OE) Checked the valves, they're fine. Questions: Could It be low fuel pressure, Degrading fuel lines, Timing issue, Vacuum leak.... I'm at a loss currently. Lets hear your thoughts and experiences. Thanks Chris |
