Subject: Pietenpol-List: Needa little hepPieters, I'm just before taking my bride out to a fancy cocktail buffet being hosted by a most influential widow of our glorious South. While I'll be away from this machine I hope maybe I will get a response from one or two of the most experienced ones on engines.PROBLEM: Started A-65 on first pull, ran beautiful with eight new plugs. Then I wanted to see what static was so I got it to 2200 then it started popping for a moment and stopped. I throttled back quickly and saved the idle. I continually repeated this sequence but at lower RPM's. For instance at 1800 she runs for about 10 or 15 seconds and pops-stops. Fuel starvation, I think. I have checked the fuel flow at the carb and is one gallon in 53 seconds which should be enough. Somewhere between that nipple and the carb throat there is a restriction. May I have your suggestions.........Pleeeeeeeeeese.Corky in La so close but yet so far________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 18:56:50 -0700 (PDT)
