just rebuilt my motor and i need help Reply #4 – July 25, 2006, 12:45:29 PM Could be any number of things. The cam could be a bit aggressive, your cam timing might be off, could be a vac leak, your carb may be way out of whack. Have you put a vac gauge on it?Did you set the float level on the carb? Could be too high and it's spilling into the venturis. It's hard to diagnose without actually knowing what's been adjusted and adjusted properly. Quote Selected
