It's been going on for months now, I've checked into every lead I
could, and still my 70 1600 is running terribly. Idles fine, takes
off fine once warm, pulls okay until 4000 rpm, falls on its face and
coughs and sputters until I stop when it settles into an okay idle.
I'm ready to shoot it and part it out and get something dependable
like a fiat or MG!!! It could well be i'm just not doing the carbs
right (in fact I know they're out of whack now) but the gradual (but
not too gradual)onset of the problem would seem to point elsewhere.
Is there good clear easy to understand (for a novice) carb balancing
guide? Everything I've found is vague, confusing, self
contradictory, or some combination of those lovely qualities.
70 1600 desmogged, recurved Dist
checked timing mechanical and vacuum advance
checked for vacuum leaks
checked vacuum piston operation
found two different main jets, replaced questionable one with one
matching normal one (got worse)
AS far as tuning carbs, I think I'm getting farther away, not closer
(but like I say the problem onset didn't seem like a carb tuning
issue)

Tired of this 2000lb smelly paperweight!
