I am not sure if it has gold stickers on it or not. I will check on that next time I see it. The timing has been set to 8 and it still runs the same. I am thinking it may be time to pull the carb off there and take a look at it. Any other ideas before I do this? Just to review here is what I have done and still no progress: New fuel filters New Air filter Sealed Vacuum lines New Spark Plugs Set the timing to 8 I am thinking of completely draining the gas from it and putting new fuel in it. If thats a no go, then I guess I take the carb off and see what she looks like. Unless, that is- anyone has any other ideas. Again, thank you gus so much for your help! -Andrew

Would you be interested in selling your roll bar?

It is an 85'

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the input. I have changed the plugs, fuel and air filters and also replaced many vac hoses that were dry rotting. After careful cigar testing, I cannot seem to find any more vac leaks. The issues remain the same. (starts and idles great! just does not excelerate well, but once I am moving and above about 2500RPMs she runs like a beast) I am beginning to think this could be related to timing. Does anyone have an experience with this? I have been doing some research on how to fix the timing, but I feel it may be beyond my skill level. Is it worth brining to a mechanic, or could this be another issue other than timing? Again, thanks so much for your feedback. Cheers, Andrew

I just purchased a fresh looking brat with 80K original miles. No rust and fires right up. I actually drove it to my brothers house which was about 2 hours away. It had some trouble getting moving from a stopped position. It would sputter until I got above 2000 RPMs and eventually backfire and bog out, or if I really gave her hell on the throttle then it would atleast get moving. (Stop lights were not fun) It shifted really smooth and did not sputter as much once I was actually moving forward going into 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear. Although if I stayed at 2K RPMs regardless of the gear then it would sputter. I am wondering what I should start with to solve this problem. Should I start with plugs, wires, filters etc. or- should I start with the carb / vacuum. I am eventually going to replace or at least clean everything, but would like to get it to my home which is about a 7 hour drive before doing everything. For all I know it could be a simple adjustment, I am kind of a rookie subie owner. Any advice would be great. Details Original motor Original carb Egr light on Starts first turn and idles really well Do not smell any burning or gas really Has premium fuel in it (from owner before me) *Also looking for topper and backseats. Thanks in advance, Millhouse
