Carb choking!

[Inlinefanatic1968]

I am having a carb problem. When i start the car, from it being cold, it is running alright still a little rough but fine. Then driving down the road, as I increase the throttle, the engine sounds like it is choking short of gas or air i don't know. Beginning to decrease RPM's, rough and no longer to accelerate. What could this be? I have a Autolite 1100.

Sounds like your choke is not opening when the motor warms up.Check and adjust or repair as necessary.

If you live where it is warm, you probably don't even need the choke. Otherwise, clean out the choke cap and the duct that pulls air into the cap. And make sure that the tab that the choke spring connects to is in place or that the spring isn't broken.

Checked it all, all of the usual suspects still can't find it.

I found that a couple of the shafts had gotten eccentric. The were warped some and didn't rotate or slip as cleanly as they should. Still sounds like the choke pulloff stays stuck in the closed position. Try a cable pulloff. Unless it's something else.
