Acceleration hits a dead wall
From the AutoLine Tech in response to my inquiry.
Hello,
I ordered a remanufactured Carter BBS carburetor from you through RockAuto.
After installation my slant 6 started right up. It's a stock 225 motor in a 72 Duster.
The idle was great and Ignition was easy enough after a couple pedal pumps.
The issue im having is that upon accelerating the vehicle acts like it is not getting any gas. As I depress the accelerator pedal in drive there is virtually no power. I can slowly get it up to speed but the power does not move in proportion to the amount of throttle I give the vehicle. It makes a hissing sound like it's waiting for more gas but is not getting any.
I have done the following:
- new mechanical fuel pump (stock)
- all new fuel hose
- new fuel filter
- new vacuum line to distributor
- new crankcase to carb line
- stable vacuum around 15lbs at idle
It's like the accelerator pump is not working. Is this a defect of the rebuild or is there some sort of adjustment that is missing from the installation guide?
Appreciate your help.
" I would agree that it sounds like a accelerator pump is not working. You could open it up to see if the accelerator pump has rolled over on it self."
Anyone know what the hell that means? Also I aint opening the thing up if it's gonna void my 90-day warranty so I asked that as a response before I end up opening the thing and lose my $230 investment.
