Engine pops (fuel related?) - 11/20/2007 11:00:14 AM    mtigrett Posts: 2 Joined: 11/20/2007 Status: offline Hello,  I have a questioned for the seasoned professionals I own a 1971 Jimmy with a 350 engine and some aftermarket edlebock carb The engine idles fine but here is my problem From a stop if I push the gas too much the engine kind of stalls for a bit then catches up with itself and runs fine also  let’s say I'm doing 40 mph  and I push the gas a little more to gain some speed-   the engine will start to pop lake crazy kind of like it backfires   but if I stomp it to the floor the engine goes and performs like normal... Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Thanks Post #: 1

Try opening the air fuel mixture screws 1/2 a turn each and see if that makes a difference. _____________________________ Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish, and he will sit on a boat drinking beer for a life time (in reply to mtigrett) Post #: 2
