Well, at midnight its tough to tell anything. LOL He got home from work at 11 and we took it for a ride.
It feels , to me, like its leaning out.....if you ease on the accelerator it doesnt do it at all....the faster you punch it, the more it bogs...I even got it to stall once. Feels like too much air, not enough fuell runs clear once it gets past that. No issues kicking down into passing etc. ONLY happens off-idle far as I can tell.
When he had the carb open at the last rebuild there was a little rust in the bowl....so clearly we need to take a look at the tank and lines at some point...had him swap in a new fuel filter right away.....it had been running fine though before the rebuild, just had leaky gaskets and the float seemed high....
After the rebuild all was great....like I said....for 1,000 miles he has informed me.
We DID have a lot of rain lately and I suggested maybe something got wet or some water got in the fuel....but it really seems to be running fine aside from the off idle bog/hestitation.
As far as the charcoal cannister....so unplug the canister I guess and cap the carb and check....
He says thatas far as he can tell the pump shot is "maxed" at the setting it is at now, which hesays is measuring what the book says...I am thinking he may have that wrong.
But , still, the car ran great the last 1,000 miles and then all of a sudden........I dont figure it is the pump as it doesnt feel lean on acceleration once you get past that initial bog.
There is no screen on the inlet.
Wonder if the pump diaphragm could have failed this soon? It was a new parts store kit.
