car cutting out
Posted: Sun May 27, 2018 9:58 pm
Under acceleration.
Hadn't started it for a while due to leak at the tank oulet. today i put a gallon in and took it outside to work on and turn around. It was popping through the exhaust so i reset the timing and adjusted each carb individually. I got it running nice and adjusted the linkage to suit.
All was well until i drove over the road to turn the car around and when i pressed the accelerator it died. Turned it over and over but nothing. So i pushed it back on the drive and checked to see if fuel was in the tank. O could see it. Then it started again took it out again and it died but restarted.
I figured i may have so little fuel that it may have sloshed away from the outlet pipe? I bought another gallon and once i poured it in the car started and revved.
Apart from my thought above could i be looking at something else?
1.7 running twin 40idf's. Has always run strong.
