All,
I need some advice. Here are the vitals and what happened.
I took the car to work today, about 24 miles. I just put an electric choke on the carb (Holly 350 CFM) to solve a cold start problem. It worked like a champ, it s been in the 30s with no problem starting. I drove her the yesterday around town with no problems. It drove fine all the way to work. Then when I started to pull into our gate, it seemed to hesitate a little. Then as I turned in the parking lot it wanted to cut off if I let off the gas. I went out at lunch...now in the 50s checked the carb and the choke was mostly open. I cranked it and it started right up but required me to keep above 2000 rpms. I let it run for a couple of minutes but you could tell it was missing. She usually ideals pretty smooth. I backed off the gas and she stayed running but seemed to won't to shut off. It was not stumbling per se but rather hesitating/missing. I drove her home and it was running fine at all speeds but hesitating.
1.) I checked to make sure no visible vacuum leaks or hoses off.
2.) I made sure choke was not engaging
3.) I made sure distrb was tight and all spark plug wires were secure.
4.) I did loosen dstrib and rotate clock wise and the engine ideal up but hesitating was still there.
5.) I went in the other direction and engine idle down still hesitating.
6.) I set idle at 1500 to make sure I got home and set it back down without it cutting off but still hesitating.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Steve
