Hello Everyone!
I am having trouble with my Engine. Over a course of around 350 miles my Engine lost more and more of its power and it seems to be running on less cylinders and is sputtering. First the idle was fine and the problem was only in high revs, but now it’s all the time.
Before I left for the trip I readjusted the carburetor, a Rochester B, to what I thought was leaner. I turned the idle screw 180 degree inwards.
On the trip I noticed the power of was declining so I checked on the spark plugs wich I found white plated. I then tried to re-gap them to 0.035. I then ran the engine for about 15 miles, but it was running horrible. I then stopped again and cleaned the spark plugs with 600-type sanding paper and gapped them to 0.04. The engine was then running better but still bad, so I went with on with it for the last 150 miles of the trip. On the last 50 miles the engine was running extremely bad and only had some power in very high revs.
I ordered new spark plugs allready, but I hope I did not break more. I am at my mothers place so I don’t have Access to a vacuumeter
How can I make my old lady run well again? I appreciate all the help I can get!
I am native German so my english might sometimes be weird.
