Twincam With Poor Performance To 3500rpm
Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2003 7:55 pm
Dear people;
Had my plus2 for 6 years now, but broke the chassis two years ago. While I was replacing the chassis I decided to fit Lumenition and recon Dellottos, new leads, plugs and coil.
Set up the timing using a lamp at 12 degrees. (1500rpm)
starts fine
runs a bit lumpy and 'gobbles' when you accelerate, otherwise sounds pretty good.
However I can barely drive it !
I have to blip the throttle to get it above 3000rpm, a steady pedal depression will stall it, once over 3000 rpm the car drives ok, but I dread slowing down !
As I have rebuilt evberything except the engine (was reliable and good before the chassis problems) I guess it should be the dellortos or my timing.
I intend to get it driveable and then drive over to the local rolling road dellorto specialist (10 miles through suburbia)
your advice would be greatly appreciated.
