Hey all, I'm having some issues with my engine. its a 1.7L Dual Carbed. Everything electrical is brand new, Plugs, wires, distributor, (including points), coil. I believe its getting proper gas flow but it's weird though because it idles fine. If reved and the instantly released it sounds great kicks right up no problem, however if brought up to about 3500-4000 or greater and held, it makes a poping noise and looses rpms. also on take off, give it a couple revs, sounds great, put it in first and take off, it'll throw you back in the seat then it hits about 3000 rpm and starts bogging down, shift to second and its about the same deal. In 3rd it starts to bog down and tops out about 45mph. 4th is really starting to bog and on the road can hit about 50. 5th gear is a notch above chugging it out completely. pedal clear to the floor and its loosing speed, any ideas guys?

1 Bad gas
2 Carbs 3 Fuel pump ...I had a similar issue with my Pontiac tri-power many years back, the carbs were picky about gas and gave me hell after each rebuild... Hah! And I thought dividing an 8 cylinder in half would be easier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |
