HELP!!! (Engine troubles?)
so we've gotten my 1971 88" IIA on the road for a little more than a week, close to two, and it had been running great. On the cold mornings from last week it was cranking up on the second time i turned it over every time. Now she doesn't want to start on the second time when it's been sitting for just 10 minutes.
In addition, during some points in acceleration, mostly when going up hill, the truck starts getting jerky and you have to let off the accelerator and de-clutch back down to second to get it going normal again.
Back to the starting issue, it seems to be having more trouble when it's on a slop whether it be facing up or downhill. The only thing i could figure as being the problem is someone's put in a new fuel line with an in-line filter and it runs all the way down under the oil filter then back up accross the top of the engine block and over to the carb, which seemed a long way to push the fuel to get to the carb. could this be the sole cause of the problems? they all seem to be fuel related....i just filled up with some Raceway unleaded could the quality of the gas be the problem? maybe a higher octane?
