If you read the previous posts, you will see what I work I've done on the carbs. I purchased and installed the new Fuel Return Valve and took it for my first drive. I went two full blocks and that convinced me the car was far from ready to go any further.
The car starts and idles just great, but hesitates badly when giving it fuel. If I give it too much pedal, the car will hesitate and backfire.
It could still be the carbs, this started with a rusty gas tank (resolved, see previous posts).
I am going to pull the valve cover, and the plugs. Mostly to check the timing chain, but will adjust the valves while I'm in there.
The way I understand it, I should check tension the complete length of the chain. Which pully do I use to turn the engine over, water pump?
If the chain is not stretched, I will time it.
Thanks. Gary Moore
