Everyone,
        A new question related to the manual choke ZS CD150 carb I installed 
today
on my 80 Spitfire.  It was running fine and idling fine in the driveway but
when I took it out on the street it backfired.  It wouldn't go above 2000
rpm without backfiring and almost dying and at times it did cut out.  I
limped it back home and gave up for the evening.  The mixture seemed fine,
in fact it was running (idling) better than when I had an auto choke ZS
CD150.  I ruled out ignition since everything ran correctly prior to the
installation.  Timing is set at 2 deg atdc per specs for an 80.
        Anyone have an idea of what I should check.


Slante,
Sean Twigg
'80 Spitfire
