Why is this so... I'm driving along and after an hour or so the car
begins to get a bad miss on acceleration. It soon gets worse and turns
into a persistent miss under any load at all.
I'm not talking a little miss that only a driver could feel... I mean a
miss that would wake up a sleeping passenger.
By trial and error I find I can resolve the problem completely by just
topping up the carb dampers with oil... but later, perhaps on the next
drive, the problem recurs.
The thing is... the dampers seem to have plenty of oil in them when this
occurs; that is, to make it run right I must overfill the dampers.
I'll confess I haven't yet opened up the carb bodies and inspected the
diaphram, etc. Really looking for clues in case this is symptom is
similar to others' experiences. Meanwhile, I go nowhere without my
little bottle of oil.
