1978 2F with Aisan carb cranks good, drives good in 1st and 2nd.
Go down the road at 40mph and load up 3rd and 4th gear and I get a total loss of power.
Go back to neutral and it's fine for a while and then repeats the power loss.
Killed the engine after this happened once and pulled over to look at sight glass and the sight glass looked to be full.
All other times the sight glass is half full as should be, usually after down shifting or going to neutral.
This week I pulled into the garage and the fuel looked to be bubbling or maybe even boiling.
I've been working on this power loss for a few months now.
Checked gas tank, fuel filter, float looks good, lot's of fuel treatment (4-5 tanks so far).
Choke works as should
Air intake is pulling strong
Carb air jets are pulling strong
Engine is desmoged
I am about ready to send the carb to an expert, but I guess I can know for sure it's the carb.
Thoughts from the 40 gallery??
