73 318 engine no modifications.
first issue, its hard to start. it will like start then turn off then crank for a bit then start for a second then turn off and do that 3 or 4 times then it fires up and runs fine (asside from issue number 2). the only time it doesent do this is if i restart it after it was just running.
2nd issue, i was driving ran the car up to about 2500 rpm then it just cut out, i thought it died so i threw it in nuetral and pulled over and it was still running.
the next day i got on it hard and ran it up to around the same rpm and it cut out but then i feathered the throttle a bit and it came back but then i let off the gas a bit.
3rd issue, if i mash the gas from a stop it will pop once out the carb then go like hell.
once again the engine is a 73 318
its got new:
plugs
plugwires
cap and rotor
fuel pump
fuel filter
rebuilt carburator
i think i have the timing set to 10btdc
not sure where to start any ideas are appreciated.
