Just finished repairing and reinstalling the carburetors on my BJ7. I thoug=
ht I had everything adjusted properly. According to my Haynes Manuel the en=
gine speed should increase slightly when you lift the piston a very small a=
mount. Mine does that.&nbsp; My dwell
 angle is where it needs to be and the car starts and idles nicely. Also so=
unds beautiful when I punch the accelerator linkages. The problem is that w=
hen I get it up to 60-70 mph I get what sounds like backfiring into my carb=
uretors. Also sounds like it doesn=E2=80=99t
 have a whole lot left in the tank, so to speak. Does that sound like I am =
running too rich or too lean?&nbsp;</div>
