ok guys- took it out yesterday after cleaning and rebuilding the carbs and replacing the fuel pump diaphram and gaskets. Seemed to run better but it still cut in and out. Only hit about 4 thousand rpm. My manual says it should be maxing at around 5500. So wide open throtle and it creeps up to 4ooo rpm then sputts, then goes, then sputs and so on. Eventually it ran at 4000 without sputtering but once I backed off and then took it back up to full throttle it did it again, and again. This motor has the thunderbolt distributor type ignition system. Im thinking now thats it a distributor issue. Maybe the rotor isnt working right? Can anyone point me in the next direction as to what this usually is? |

did you try manually pumping the fuel bulb at speed, sounds like its sucking air in |
