Default Re: What a difference a day makes...

Well, another day another problem. Broke my a** to get home for a local cruise nite hoping to drive my "cool" running sled to the gathering. Didn't get 5 miles and it went totally bonkers. Starting missing and bucking and acted like it was starved for gas. Then it started to diesel when I came to a stop and finally I pulled over and it quit. Plenty of spark but the gas wouldn't keep pumping. If you pumped the carb manually and just hit the key it would start and then die. Thought it was vapor locked and removed the tank cap. Finally it started again and I got it back home. Ran so-so at highway speeds and then would buck and diesel at the stops. Got it to the garage and parked it. Hard time getting it started again but finally it went. Checked timing and set idle mixture and idle speed. But something just isn't right, I feel like it is fuel but I can't be sure. Well I'm running on like the motor so I'll leave it here. Any input is welcome. TW
