Starts great. Runs like a scared cat when you hit the pedal to the floor. But when you want to accelerate, it... -
So I've been wondering this for a while, taking the pics for Hank yesterday it highlighted it again for me. In normal light it doesn't look as bad as with the camera flash, but is this a "normal" look for a carb? Seems it should be cleaner than it is.... is it leaking near the input? Or along...
