I have an A-4 in my 1961 Pearson Triton 28. As far as I know, its the original engine. All though it has no modern upgrades, with exception to the fuel/water separator, it has been meticulously maintained.
After installing the fuel/water separator and regular weekly use without any problems, I thought my fuel issues were over, until last week.
Here's what I have going on:
-Engine starts easily
-Idles nicely, no "missing" , idles smoothly
- As I throttle a little above idle, the engine looses power as though it is fuel starved. I have no tachometer to indicate at what RPM this starts at.
- I notice it smokes a slight gasoline smelling white smoke out the exhaust as the RPMs raise. very similar to what you smell when you first start a lawnmower.
- I can get the engine to rev significantly and smoothly if I advance the choke a bit.
- I notice the white smoke increases as I throttle it up with the choke advanced.
- I have not noticed a change in oil pressure or level.
With that info in mind, what do you think is happening and how do I fix it?
Do you think the smoke is related to my carb/ fuel issue? thanks in advance.
Edit: I do have a polishing filter in line.
