running out of fuel?
You said it behaves like it's running out of fuel? Maybe it is. When you stopped and put gasoline in it, did it run fine for 40 miles and then quit? If thats the case, your fuel cap could be at fault. Is the visible portion in good condition? Remove the cap and take it apart. There is a piece of foam in there, and after 30 years, it has rotted. It's plugging the vent. I replaced mine with a tiny piece of Scotch Brite. If the sealing ring is hard and cracked, this may not be the problem as it will vent through those cracks.Marty (in Mississippi)

Can't argue with all the first hand experience of the people that find those 210 air jets in their '78's.Originally posted by BA80 View PostIt's not the chart you don't like, you just don't like being wrong.Nathan

More like 7500, and I don't spend much time there other than In first gear (and I can get up there in first).Originally posted by BA80 View Post
Also, since the '78's came that way stock, no I don't think that is the problem!Nathan

I'll do that. The only thing is, those 45 pilots you have in there may be too big then. Do you still have the original 42.5s?Greg
