| Post subject: | engine dies at WOT |
I have an 85 d-150 with a rebuilt 77 carter bbd that has been running flawlessly for the past year. While driving the other day the engine sputtered and died while pulling away from a stop sign. She then died two more times as soon as I put a load on the engine. She idles OK with a vacuum steady at 18 inches. I replaced the fuel filter and also added dry gas to the tank. But there was no improvement. I also sprayed out the carb and adjusted the mixture with no change. Today I rotated the distuibutor counter clockwise about 5 degrees and I seem to good power at WOT. Could there be a problem with Spark Control computor advancing the timing? Or does anyone have any other suggestions. I'm out of ideas. Any help is appreaciated |

Carb may have trash in it that got by the filter. My '84 D100 had so much junk in the tank it would plug the carb and a new filter within a month. It seemed to run at higher speeds OK, my problems were at idle(if it would) and low speed. I had to drop and clean the tank. I then used a new plastic see thru filter to keep an eye on it, looks good so far. Next oil change I'll go back to a steel cased filter. |
