Hard Acceleration Problem hopefully fixed!! 120-130 1967

posted by  someone claiming to be mario on  Sun Mar 21 08:22 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I inspected my carbs the other day when my car was running poorly at idle, and I noticed that one of the carb pistons would get stuc when I attempted to lift in manually. I took it apart and found a shiny wear spot on the outside of piston's tube section which gets filled with ATF. I couldn't really figure out why it was binding, but I went to my shed and pulled out a couple of spare carbs and found a different dome which fit the piston without binding. Now the piston rises and falls smoothly and the car runs much better. I might have been starving half of my engine for a couple of months.

Thanks for pointing my direction towards the carbs.
