Sounds like a weak mixture. What happens if you lift the pistons of the SU's about 1mm while running stationary? What oil do you use in the dash pots? Should be ATF or 3in1, not 20W50. Any leaks in t

I agree with the weak mixture theory. Further evidence is a hole in a piston, which is also a symptom of a lean condition. I would make sure the mixture is correct immediately. Even if it doesn't cur
