Its a progressive similar to a webber.
The car ran when I got it and didn't have this issue.
The carb has been soaked and rebuilt, but not using a rebuild kit. Just taken apart and cleaned then reasembled. The problem happened before the cleaning.
The car will run and idle
The car will accelerate through all the rpm ranges
The car will die after acceleration, or maintaining rpms that are higher than idle.
It will run for about 30 -40 seconds then kaput. It will run all day idleing.
We have rulled out electrical issues and it is def a fuel issue. I can keep the car running on carb cleaner when it starts to die.
Any thoughts?
A rebuild kit is $60. 60mike found it. There is damn near NO information on the web on this carb! No diagrams or anything.....
I had the same problem, new fuel filters. One at the bottom of the gas tank, another inline before the fire wall, one at the carb. Also check your fuel pump volumn
