Hi Fred, I know the feeling. After I rebuilt the carbs (thanks to you and
Randal,et, al), I couldn't get rid of the choking feeling between 2,000 and
3,000 RPM under load and after the engine was warm. After many
re-centerings, float measurements, and swapping of needles, I replaced the
distributor cap, rotor and wires which solved the problem and proved once
again that addage I keep hearing here that 90% of all fuel problems are
electrical.
