me , precious,and three tanks of gas

[Big Lou]

took old gas where I had put in berrymans out , drained 3 carbs three times , drained tank , carbs soaked two days cause it rained

 

new 93 gas , cranked right up tried to idle , turned up idle so it would stay chargeing,, no more runs thats it

 

any thing below 3,000 and its backfireing, any gear any speed,, at 3,000 I have a cylinder cutting in and out ,it will cut in for 3 to 5 seconds and go back out,, only at 3,000 the other day before I fixed vacuum leaks when i run down the road at 4,5 6 and up wil would cut in for a minute or so ,,not any more,,,

 

choke cable works like it is supppose to yet i cant tell it is doing anything ,

 

ran three tanks of gas yesterday in the forrest and some interstate, didnt clear up

i definetly have a loss of power

 

WHAT NOW

i got a big service manual with it except all the trouble shooting chapter is torn out , i dont have it , drained oil after and filtered it through a pair of pantyhose to see if i have any wear after i did tranny NOT ONE METAL FLAKE, SPARKLE OR GLISTEN,, I BELIEVE IT GOT THAT

[pmelah]

check your coils wires and caps thats what im dealing with now and all 4 were way out of spec going back out to check my readings for a 4th time to make sure i got it right

Lou, I have an 87 that I tried to get running right. Started hard, ran like crap until warmed up, then ran like crap. Tried everything..then finally tore the carbs apart.. here is the link to that thread. There are some additional diaphragms on the side of the carbs.. Mine are shot.

so i went to store today and got stuff to make the synch, tool,,

 

figure ill hang in the rafters when i am done

 

if it is carb diaphrams , even though it was doing good when i tore it down ,,i am going to just going to have to fix it

 

wonder if doing rebuild on all 4 will be cost effective , or just a piece at the time

1. QUESTION;;; will a backfire blow a diaphram on this 1st gen,,, like a holley carb does power valves. on a racing motor????...used to keep spares of those

   
   

is there anything i can make my own diaphrams out of????

People have been known to fix small holes in the diaphragms with either RTV or liquid electrical tape. this is just a temporary fix.
