Title: split linkage again
Post by: mcclainjlkcmsncom on March 01, 2021, 17:55:53

After my car 1972 w108 sedan has been running really good thanks to this site all of a sudden today runs bad. When I split the linkage if I open the venturi the rpms really pick up. When I press the injection pump ore the engines dies. I believe that this means I am running too rich is this correct?
Thanks Jim

Improperly adjusted  FIP. Leaky CSV. WRD issues. Leaky fuel injectors. Etc. Do a search on running rich. There is much info on the subject.

Start checking the systems and report back. We can narrow down from there.

Jim, make sure the Barometric Compensator is tight and hasn't vibrated loose..
