Title: Well shit.....👎🚤
Post by: sandaddict on October 03, 2015, 04:54:04 PM
Took the boat out to get wet today and now we're sittin here like this...  Cant get past 3500 rpm without it stumbling all over.  Messed with timing, messed with carb air screws, adjusted floats and Nothing!   Only thing i cant check is fuel pressure.  Just a lot of poping at half throttle.....  Time to start drinkin 🍺

Ps your lean rich fuel mixture screws only adjust your idle quality and once the main metering system starts have no effect on higher rpm performance

Betting you have a chunk of debris stuck in a jet

Yeah i know but i was just grabbing at straws...  Seems like popping thru intake.  Just feels like it loads up bad and then cleans up when you back out.

Vacuum secondary carb. Maybe lean pop from secondaries opening with no fuel????

Sounds like an ignition problem

Yeah I'm betting on at least one of the above. Take carb to pro rebuilder. Set timing to 32/34 degrees at 3000 rpm. That should get you in the ballpark. Good luck. :-)

Nope.  Think its definitely in the carb.  Took it off and put it on my truck (68 chevy shortbed ) and it ran like shit....
