Hi
When I put her away in the Fall, she was running well. Good acceleration, smooth, etc.
This Spring, after the winter lay-up, she runs like crud. She starts, but labors, and wont accelerate well. runs at low rpms only
Only things I did over winter.
1) Pulled distributor cap and plate to lube advance weights (per your advice)
2) Tweaked the gap between EI module and magnet
3) Pulled carb, took home, and reinstalled
4) New Racor - although i bypassed it to make sure not issue - and ran the same
checks so far.
1) Spark seems good - coil wire against block gives good spark
2) Fuel pressure (gauge just before carb) runs steady 3-4 lbs
3) Pulled flame arrestor to make sure choke closes fully - it does.
4) But, a good bit of fuel was in throat - didnt seem to drain through scavenger tube
5) tank is 1 year old w new fuel. carb is 1 year old and seems "clean"
6) wires not crossed
7) oil level good -- but seems to get dark quickly -- maybe from incomplete combustion?
What's next?
Intend to try to set timing. Maybe it got off from tweaking EI gap?
Any other ideas?
thanks.
