dnotton Posted September 5, 2008 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2008 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.

hls30.com Posted September 5, 2008 Share #2 Posted September 5, 2008 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/topic/29298-hesitates-when-pedal-is-mashed/#findComment-259419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnotton Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted September 5, 2008 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.
