willd Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 So, I'm driving the new rig home and as I charge a hill in 3rd the thing seems to lose power right above 3000 rpms. Doesn't happen in any other gear that I can tell. I just got irt and haven't looked at the fuel filter, it also has the original carb. Any ideas? It happens even when level, and always above 3000 rpms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willd Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 If it helps, it sort of surges and drops out, I can feel it lose power in spurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willd Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm hoping that this is not a transmission problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Change both the front and rear fuel filters. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willd Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 I will give it a go. Is it strange that it would only lose power in third? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willd Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 That did the trick. I'm trying to get better about poking around in here a bit before I start a new thread. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
