Thanks Bob yeah I have done a lot of what you said, carbs have been apart and "rebuilt" three times now over the last year. We were messing with the vacuum lines last night like you suggested, followed the diagram.Haven't used a vacuum gauge on each carb yet, don't know where to find those anymore. Any suggestions? Want to come by this week and check them out? Your welcome...always welcome.
We are focusing now on making sure gas tank, to steel fuel lines, to rubber fuel lines are all clear back to front. Fuel filter is clear no vapor lock. I can see some air in the line at the T in between carbs, that doesn't look "normal or good" to me, kind of the air in the brake line theory as to no bueno, but not sure if same philosophy. I have a clear T which I can see the fuel through. Diaphragms appear good for secondaries, sounded like they were doing there job but still no top end power especially under load and the secondary butterfly's still do no open. We Checked cylinder pressure, all was good. Set the timing, it was idling nice and runs fine when sitting there but as soon as it drives, nothing there, no power at all. Like it is getting fuel starved when you give gas. Spark plugs looked like engine running a little rich, not lean. So, it's very strange and very frustrating at this point but will keep plugging a way for a bit until I throw in the towel....I'm one of those guys that would rather have a car that doesn't look good but is mechanically sound, than have something that looks good but you can't drive, what's the point? Anyhow, thanks for the advice!
