Great site you have here. I have been browsing the forum for the past couple of weeks and thought i'd finally join.
I bought my first car about 9 months ago after a proud volvo tradition in the family (a 1978 245L and a 1989 740GLE) - it is a 1972 142S with the twin stromberg carbi's. I am a complete novice mechanic but I am very eager to learn.
On that note ill get to the subject of the post. Car starts/runs great but recently i have noticed that it is 'stuttering' at high rpm (e.g. driving on a highway or up a large hill). In this situation it doesn't accelerate smoothly at all (whereas a month or two ago it was fine). I have recently had the points replaced along with the spark plugs and leads so i dont think its a sparking problem but i have my suspicions about the carbi's. As i said i am learning as i go but can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks for your help,
evan
