deejay Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I have a 1970 l16 When I start it up in the morning or after sitting for awhile it starts up rough Like misfiring on # 2 cylinder I have a new electronic ing. ( took the points out ) New plugs wires and cap and roter Checked the compression and across all calendars there all about even with in 2-5 psi of each other After it warms up usually does better gets about 27mpg Little sputter here and there Also has a webber carb Any ideas what could cause this Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Is it new or used? Do you have any idea what this mystery weber was off of? Used, it could be full of someone else's problems like missing or mixed up parts. It could be jetted for a much larger motor. Quote Link to comment
deejay Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 The webber came with the car running in the motor 36/32 manual choke Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Does it only mis on #2? Datzenmike is right also. I've learned a ton recently by getting familiar with your carb. This will help: http://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&source=mog&hl=en&gl=us&client=safari&tab=wi&q=dgv%2032%2F36&sa=N&biw=480&bih=208#i=5 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Carb motors often start up 'rough' when cold compared to EFI motors you may be used to. How did you determine #2 plug was a problem? Like Hainz sez could be a tight valve. Quote Link to comment
deejay Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ya. Pulled # 2 plug wire no change also changed plugs and wires and if I pull any other plug with # 2 plugged in its a big change compared just pulling # two Quote Link to comment

deejay Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Any idea of the feeler gage intake exhaust # off the top of your head Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 If the compression is the same as the other cylinders then it should fire just like the other cylinders. If you pull the plug wire off and not much change then the spark is going somewhere else. Try swapping the #2 wire to another cylinder and see if the problem moves. If it does the wire is bad. Try swapping the plug to another cylinder and see if the problem moves. If it stays the same put a new dizzy cap and rotor on it. Quote Link to comment
