Hi list,
I have a '68 GT6 that seems to have a problem getting enough air. Engine
was rebuilt by PO, carbs rebuilt, dwell at 42 and timing at 4 degrees
after. I can get it to run pretty good with no air filters on. As soon
as I put the filters on (have tried 3 different types), the engine
spits, sputters, no acceleration, and will barely get over 3000 rpm.
Without the air filters, it's up to 4500 easily. I know about the small
intake holes, they aren't blocked by the filters. the idle is smooth,
and all seems fine when revving in the garage, but once under a
load...it's terrible.
Any ideas? I'm wondering about the needles, it seems I have to turn the
mixture screws (jets) in quite a bit from the 3 turn starting point. All
vacuum lines and connections have been replaced.
Thanks,
Jim
