A stumble and a rough rumble... on acceleration
48ratrod replied to 48ratrod's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Hi Don... To recap ... Base is solid - but between the lid and the side of the base is about a 3/8" gap around around the base - I know the filter that I replace recently was certainly dirty so its been working on some level - and hadn't noticed any disruption in engine function as a result. -
Found this online in my own searches ... perhaps you will find this helpful.... has parts numbers and then use their parts search. http://www.mmpar.com/storevbvs2011/xx6.pdf Parts Search http://www.mmpar.com/StoreVBVS2011/PS.aspx?CategoryID=16&selection=1

good suggestions… Thanks-I have the 306 from the Autolite in right now-and I have another set of the 592 champion plug that I may just drop in to see if that helps anything. much appreciated! -

Thanks Jeff… Working on things today-will definitely check those out. there seems to be a good flow from the Excelerator pump it into the car when demand is there - but will check it out for sure. thanks! -

thanks again for your input… Sounds like you're having a similar scenario with your '50… any thoughts on what may additionally be contributing to the problem? -

when I get out there today… I'll take a photo of the cylindrical base FYI - but it's a solid plate on the bottom - except of course for the air intake to the carb. the filter since solidly on top of the base. I understand now what you and Don are saying regarding the air filter… Just not sure how it's managed to function as it has this long being this way. cheers ... -

John ... thanks - going to explore all options ! Don - Thanks again - Re the filter - it was replaced with everything else a couple of months ago when brought out of storage. I will pick up new plugs again ... wish I had that plug cleaner I saw you posted ... thanks gents ! -

Ok ... thanks - more good knowledge going forward ... will work to address that as I'm sure that's had some effect. But trying to reconcile this in my pea brain - I did buy it that way and ran it for 5 years - not to mention the guy before me. Just can't see how all of a sudden I'm having these problems because of an air cleaner - it was smooth in acceleration with good power previously. When the lid is off - I'm having the same problem - idles great - apply throttle and it gets all rough. -

Don - Thanks for the clarification and the info. Good to know but obviously not the cause of my problems then. Re the photo of the air cleaner - I had posted them yesterday back previously in the thread - I guess for ease should have just posted in sequence. Here you go anyways. -

okay and update on what I believe the problem is… Today I tested the vacuum advance with a vacuum pump-found it wasn't holding any pressure at all… Seems to be a good explanation - Going to have to find me one - SUGGESTIONS on where to look?? None of the local sources here seem to have one - Re the plugs ... changed them out when was initially getting it going after being in storage ... those were champion - seemed ok and didn't have any complaints - ones I put in now though are Autolite thanks everyone for your help and assistance so far-much appreciated! -

hey Rich… Thanks for the suggestion on the breaker plate… Will check this further when I remove the distributor tomorrow. Ran out of time today. Like your way of working though ... something I'll take moving forward. -

thanks for the suggestion… Voltage from the coil is fine… Running at 6.5… New coil put in when I pulled it out of storage. -

Neil - Thanks - will check the side play out - does something like that just happen or is it just a matter of the ol' straw on the camel's back? Shel_ny - Yes ... I read that posting too - I've picked up another set of points, just in case - haven't got to that stage yet - have to check if they're from China Don - Using a paper air cleaner - its pretty good...
