"My Dad & I have just comp
"My Dad & I have just completed a 3yr restoration of a 1961 17' Century Resorter w/ a Fireball 327 225hp Gray Marine V8. The motor had undergone a complete 100% rebuild 15yrs ago & was put in storage until Dad & I found the time to finish the Resorter. During the engine rebuild my Dad decided to replace the existing sidedraft carburators with a brand new 600cfm edelbrock marine four barrel carburator. Long story short...The Engine runs great...but only in the driveway & in neutral. Under load however, is a different story. As soon as we reach around 1500rpm the engine looses power & starts to cough & backfire through the carb. We checked little things like fuel filter, points, spark, vacuum pressure, & timing and everything checks out. If anybody has any advise to get this old girl running please help!!!
thanks,
Mike
