So..... My 88 has been acting funny for a while so it's been parked until I could get it in to the shop to see exactly what it was (I have no idea about motor problems). I had it diagnosed as a carb problem about 2 months ago so I ordered a Weber and took it to the shop yesterday. Got a call today saying that the weber didn't fix the problem. The mechanic is a buddy of my family and is the most reasonable guy to do business with, he said they would go through and see what it could be, I figured I would ask the you all what it could be.
So here's what it's doing:
When I got it diagnosed (not the mechanic who's doing the work now) he said it was the auto choke and "tuned it" as he said and it ran fine for a few days. It would just barely run and when you gave it gas and let off the pedal it would die. You could drive it as long as when you came to a stop you better be tapping the pedal so it wouldn't die. That's why he figured it was the carb.
Well it ran ok somedays and terrible the others. It bounces from 250 rpms to say 750 rpms. Troy said that it may some kind of intake problem somewhere.
So now I'm stuck wondering what its gonna take to fix it until he calls back in the next few days.
Any ideas?:nonono:
Thanks, Jake
