« on: August 09, 2015, 09:03:41 PM »
What's up guys? Have a 1990's 19ft Eliminator with a BBC 454.. Took the boat out a couple of weeks ago and it was cutting in and out at high rpm's. Noticed the power wire on the fuel tank seperator valve was loose and when I went to tighten it the threads broke. Anyway put a new one on but as I suspected the problems still there but worse now. Will start up and idle but when giving it any gas it just backfires and dies. Put a Holley 750 on not too long ago and cleaned it just last week. Kind of lost as where to look to now.. Possibly points gap on distributor is out of whack? Any suggestions?? Need to get her going before we head to Parker Thursday!!
