Title: err (found the problem)
Post by: Clayton on September 16, 2006, 01:57:02 PM
well the story here starts as i was driving the bird.. i decided for the first time after the rebuild to nail it.. takes off like a freakin dream..  i was driving around a couple corners.. and i decided then when i was turning around in a parkinglot to punch it again.. it did.. gladly

now.. as i was pulling out of that same parkinglot.. it died on me.. and i had to limp it home.. now it sounds like a dragster on crack.. and will only run if you feather the gas

what could the problem be now? im on a fresh rebuild.. its had the perfect ammount of breakin time to get everything seated..

i am a wee bit low on gas too.

maybe my timing jumped or i fouled a plug or somthing

anybody else have this problem?
