Hey All,

I pretty much have all my carburetor issues all figured out. The car drives 100% better than it did, and it did already run well before the issues.

She idles really nice and I can even get it to idle in at around 250 rpm but I have the idle set at 375 - 400 rpm. GAV 1/4 turn open, idle screw 1-1/4 open, idle jet enlarged to #74. I have a flat spot when giving her some gas.

Issue:

Picture the gas pedal having 10 positions with idle being #0, and #10 being the floorboard. When pressing the gas, I have a flat spot at position #2. In neutral, while idling, as I slowly press the gas pedal, it respond up until position #2 and then the engine has nothing. Then at position #2.5 to #3, it's fine. Other than that. She runs fantastic.

Any clues?

Regards
Bill
