Howdy,


I don't know what a "Flot Leave" is.

You might consider checking the timing. Retarded timing will cause an engine be pretty wimpy on power.

What kind of carburetor is it? Typically you invert the bowl and adjust by bending the tang of the float where it actuates the needle valve, you make the float paralelle with the bowl gasket surface.

Re: 2.3 Ford Cobra Running under power

In your first post you indicated "New Carb"

Was it new or did you put a kit in it? I would have a hard time believing that a new carb might need to have the float level adjusted....

You also might check to see that you have good fuel flow if you have an anti-siphon valve on the tank. Sometimes they restrict fuel flow...
