Pull left carb off and take it apart clean it up really good. Sounds to me that there is a plugged jet by what you posted, and pull the filter out of the carb to see if it has any flow issues also.

Thanks guys, I need to get some bigger tires for the fronts and polish them up too. Thanks Mike I'm going to try pulling the carb off tonight and see what I find.
My buddy and I are are competing to see who can get their baja roadworthy first..

^^I use the Type 3 lower tin on all my engines as do a lot of people. Why is it not right if they provide better cooling circulation than those little Type 1 ones? This is in a baja..we don't use all those big dog sled tins running underneath so I just use the Type 3 tin.

None taken. I can be "good" sometimes but not great.
And thanks for setting me straight on the pix, I did not think that far into it. And at-least your car looks nice, your eyes probably will hurt if you see my car.

I have also run type 3 tins. After talking to Jake Raby though, and hearing the results of his cooling tests, I have since switched back to the type 1 tins. type 3 tins belong on type 3's due to the cooling fan setup. There is no advantage to running them on a type 1.
To each his own though. Run them if thats what you've been doing, but don't expect any amazing results like what is advertised. |

Jake's testing was run with full tins in place, then adding the T3 cool tins. It is a complete different dynamic when the full tins are not run, like on a baja, rail buggy or fiberglass buggy.
I run the original T1 tins when the engine is installed with full tins. I run the T3 cool tins when the engne will be in the open without the advantage of the full factory tins in place.
First set of T3 cool tins I used was back in 1984 in a 1915cc that I got over 100,000 miles out of.

When I was building my engine I decided to use T3 lower tins because I have a baja. If I was running a sealed engine bay, then I would have used T1 tins. Glad I'm not the only one who reached this conclusion  |
