Just getting some miles on this new to me Series 70 JKZ73 and I have noticed I have a low throttle bucking and somewhat hesitant jumpy throttle response when initially taking off. The vehicle starts up fine and idles fine. I have to use a lot of clutch and throttle to get it rolling good when taking off, and then when I shift into 2nd, I have to do the same thing with the clutch and throttle. After driving it for 15-20 minutes it’s starts to get a little better but never perfect. Once it’s at cruising rpm it runs fine. It also hesitate initially if you floor the gas but then cleans up and takes off.
This vehicle came for Bogota which is at 9K above see level and the carb hasn’t been adjusted now that’s it’s a sea level here in Florida. Think that might be my starting point ?
From the looks of the engine, the fuel filter, dizzy, wires, ( possibly plugs) and fuel pump seem to be reasonably new. I leaning toward maybe needing a slight carb adjustment.
