Posted September 5, 200816 yr comment_259416 Good Friday Everyone,I have a '73 with the Hitachi bell tops. When I step down on the gas it takes a second or two to catch. It totally bogs down and then fires up. I'm sure the fix is in the carbs, right? Any quick fix? I'm admitedly a weekend tinkerer at best but I have broken down the carbs and float bowls and cleaned them up pretty good.

September 5, 200816 yr comment_259419 if by "bell tops" you mean round tops, order Ztherapys Carb video and ods are you will have the right tool.Better still, swap out your crabs for a set done by Zthrepay...the seat of your pants won't recognize the car!Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/29298-hesitates-when-pedal-is-mashed/#findComment-259419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 5, 200816 yr Author comment_259420 Thanks! Yes I mean the round tops as opposed to the flat tops. I got their video and the rebuild kit and put in new needles and cleaned everything up but it's been sitting a while so I may need to revisit.
