brokebill Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 may not be related, but mine had that flat spot in it the first couple years i had it (thought it was just the way the car ran) and i advanced the timing from 8^ to 10^ BTDC and it eliminated the flat spot and gave it lots more power. also the only gas i run is amoco (BP) 93 oct. hope it helps, thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brokebill Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 i'm not really qualified to give any advice, just suggestions based on my 3 year struggle to keep mine running. that being said, i'm not sure what your motors timing is supposed to be set at specifically so i cant give you specific numbers. but if you have the ability to check and reset the timing properly and accurately then i personally would try advancing it a couple degrees ahead of factor specs (as long as it dont make it ping) and see. made a world of difference in mine. especially if you have time to kill waiting on other parts anyhow. good luck Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
()__1337_CRAYOLA__()> Posted June 14, 2008 Author Share Posted June 14, 2008 took ur advice put the timming ahead to 9 1/2 degrees it went away a little bit i guess i gotta wait and see if the vacuum advance can will fix the problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 this sounds very simular to what my 85 brat is doing, except mine doesnt like to start either. definatly let us know if hte vac advance sorts out your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim5551212 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 make sure the pump jet is squirting fuel into the barrel of the carburetor. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
