It will idle fine and pull itself ok in first thru 4th gears with T.A. forward and back. The problem comes when I try to go to 5th gear. It spits and sputters and simply will not pull itself at all in 5th. Seems like the gov can't seem to "find itself" and get it going. If I ride the brakes hard in 4th gear to simulate a load it has power to spare. Any ideas or suggestions??????????? [Reply]   [No Email]

I would screw out the load screw (Front bottom of carb) ine turn to see if that helps. If some better, 1.2 turn at a time. If no better, repost a new thread to get more ideas. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]

Seems to load up at fast idle or high throttle but still won't produce in road gear. [Reply]  [No Email]
