Who rebuilt it? If it was a shop, take it back and say its worse than when you gave it to them. |

I'll have to have a good look. but if idle and timing are perfect how would a vacuum line cause this problem?? |

The secondary throat on the carby is vacumn operated so if the line is not connected properly it won't work. |

I spoke to the rebuilder and said it could be something to do with the secondary and I can't get into to see him for 3 weeks. I've bought some new vacuum hose and going to replace all and hopefully check if its all are in the right spots on the weekend. Fingers crossed. Thanks for all the help people |

ok I've replaced all the hoses with new ones and the 3 hoses the come from there dizzy,the charcoal canister and the TSV?? were the wrong way round on the carby end. hopefully this fixes the issue with my high lack of speed. Illl book it in with the rebuilder to make 100% sure i have plumbed it all right and get him to tune it all properly. thanks for you help guys |
