>Dave,
That is why I am asking. I had a small tear in my front carb
diaphragm. It
would idle, but would stall/bogg down under load. I had to drive about 4
miles home in fits and starts.

I tore a diaphram in the TR8 and it ran but it was down on power. There
was none of the characteristic fuel delivery problem (like what I had on a
Mustang I once had) where it runs just fine for a short while and THEN bogs
down.
The float bowl in the carb is a small reservoir and will allow the engine
to ride out short term fuel delivery problem (or mask them out, depending
on how you look at it). A fuel injected car will respond immediately to a
fuel delivery problem. But that is a topic for another list.
Cheers
Dave
