Roadster Club,
I found the problem with my carburetors. It was the front carburetor, the
plunger needle and floats needed adjustment. The carburetor was sucking the
bowl dry and causing the loss of power. I brought it to a friend / mechanic
and he adjusted and worked the carburetors. Then he did a minor tune up
(plugs and timing adjust) and the '66 runs great again. Thanks for all the
support.
Nick '66.
