Re: No towing power, any one have this problem?

a few updates.. first off, i cant read a vacuum gauge. its 13, not 16. the cover is scratchy, and...well doesn’t matter..lol..

2nd, we took it out for a drive and rapped the hell out of the motor. there were a few times that around 4900 rpm, you could feel a bit of a surge in power. enough to make us both look at each other and ask , did you feel that?

so more indications of a cam problem.

first time i took the camper out since i put the rebuilt carb, new coil, cap,rotor, wires, and plugs on.. there was noticeable difference in power, but wasn’t THE problem. still a dog, no torque.

this week, ill take he timing chain cover off and look to see that its not off a tooth. if it isn’t, out comes the cam.

i hope i solve this soon, i don’t have time for this shyt
