Mike,

What year is your car?

If it is a later (smog) car like mine, try disconnecting the fuel float bowl
vent lines from the air cleaner assembly and take it for a spin.

My car did exactly the same thing and that was the cure.

Well I finally took my car out for a spin and it was great! I haven't driven
my car in over a year and I forgot what it felt like.

While the car generally runs well I have no power above 4K RPMs. It feels
like it's running outta gas. I have 2L carbs with N17 needles and one1/4"
fuel line supplying both carbs from the Facet electric fuel pump to the
carbs. Do you think this could be the problem? I am not running lean as if I
richen it my idle deteriorates.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Mike
