Hello,
HELPPPPPP.
History - I have a 1972 HC, the car was cutting out when the foot the acelorator depressed during driving. So i had to use the choke to get me home it seem to have the power when the choke was out.
Now when i got home the fuel shaft in the carb had broken. This could have been happening for some time.
I rebuilt the carb with new gaskets and springs etc. New shaft and butterfly went in and put all together. Cleaned out the fuel tank s there was sandy type deposits. Cleaned pump.
When started it was running rough. I adjust the air screw and it run a lot better. But noticed when driving it still did not have the power when accelerator was depressed and again it was trying to cut out had to regulate the fuel and possibly the air with the choke. I'm now at a loss. is the fuel pump starving the carb?. Am I going crazy? Any help or ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
Sorry for the long explanation.
Many thanks
