Guys and girls I’m running out of patience. I’ve got a 73’ 3.0CS running original Zeniths. The car had not been driven for years so I went through and replaced almost everything mechanically including rebuilding the engine which was leaking from top as a result of overheating from prior owner. Rebuilt the carbs with W&N kit, and had a full service using full kit from W&N (new filters, cap and rotor etc). Rebuilt brake boosters, power steering rack, recored radiator etc. After all this was done I picked the car up from the mechanic and the following day went on a 200mile round trip to the mountains here is Sydney, Australia. The car ran perfect, didn’t miss a beat, flawless, I was ecstatic. Maybe two more drives after, the problems started to arise. The problem I have is when the car is warm/hot after 20min driving the car has issues when I stop at the lights. The revs start to drop and then it chokes and coughs at idle trying to stay running. I drive off from the lights sometimes to a bit of splattering then it drives, but issue continues every stop at lights. Then I get home and slowly park the car and it dies. So it’s been back and forth to my mechanic, in the beginning it was simple as blowing it out through the carbs with the thought it was just something blocking the carbs. It fixed the problem and then a day later same issues. Then we replaced the ignition coil and then noticed the carbs weren’t getting enough fuel so we replaced the fuel pump (W&N), still didn’t fix it then it got worse and couldn’t start the car. Found no fuel getting to the carbs, so unblocked the fuel lines then noticed there is rust in the fuel tank (not leaking). We cleaned it all out then prepped the tank and completed the process with sealer. Cleaned the tank pickup screen and off I went. Driving good on the way home then 15-20min later same problem. I don’t know what else to do, I’m thinking it may be carb related but not sure. Im dying here cause we have replaced almost everything!!
Really hoping someone can help. My patience has Run out.
