NewDenverKid Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I've had this 87 gl n/a for two years without a problem until the other day. Almost anytime below 3 grand during acceloration it will bog down, and try to stall. It doesn't do it over 3000 rpm or 60 km's. I replaced the feul filter about two weeks ago as well as the air filter. It's in the shop right now ,they(Fountain Tire) pulled off the air cleaner assembly, used some carb clean to no effect. They also did a compression test(acceptable levels). Upon inspection the tech noticed fuel coming in an(the?) air bleed. They searched locally(Surrey, Canada) for carb rebuild kits but could not find one so advised me to go with a rebiult carb which they quoted me at 900+ pre labor!!!. In two years I've spent maybe 500 bucks can. on my sub and the carb is quite rusty in parts, also my exaust is starting to sound like a lawnmower do to all the rust holes.So I told them to go ahead as I need it asap for wosk and don't have time to go scrounging around junk yards. What do yall think???? By the way this site rocks I spend so much time reading the posts that my significant other says I might not be getting laid for the next month unless I promiss her to stop visiting this site!!!!!!
