I'm new to the list (at a friend's suggestion) and have a problem with my
'69 TR6 which recently developed and driving me nuts.  After rebuilding
engine about 18 months ago, car has been running fine until recently.  Now
it starts up nicely but after traveling at elevated speeds (55-60 mph) for a
few minutes, when I slow down (like to take the interstate off ramp) rpm's
decrease down below 800 and the car dies.  It doesn't readily restart
either.  What I've found, is if I pull out the choke before slowing down,
the car stays running, but is idling at over 2000 rpm.  I'm stumped.
I don't know if the carbs are the originals.  They have temperature
compensators, and needle valves that don't adjust.  The distributor has no
vacuum advance, and the vacuum retard wasn't connected when I got the car 2
yrs ago.. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
