My friend has a bug with a rebuilt 1500 single port engine. I set the carb and timing perfect. The engine runs really good but when I drive it I have to give it a good amount of gas to get it going in 1st gear and also when I downshift to 2nd at around 10-15 mph it seems to bog down (note to revs perfect at a stand still!)

I have a Cabby and it accelerates alot smoother at 1st gear start off! What gives???? Is there something wrong with this bug?

Check compression?

Or perhaps something in "I set the carb and timing perfect." isn't as perfect as you think?
