Dennis,

Sounds like fuel starvation to me, ie: it will run fine, but not at high RPMs.
Could be as simple as a fuel filter, but I had the same problem and it was the
fuel pump.



good luck,

Sloane :)

Atlanta, some touring around Charlotte and a trip to the NC shore, all in my
TR6. All went extremely well until about 100 miles from home. The car starts
and idles fine, and runs in the low revs OK but will not run over 4000 RPM. It
just seems to choke - it made the long hills on I-81 in Pennsylvania a real
chore - I'd get going 75-80 mph at the bottom of the hill and would barely be
doing 55-60 at the top - it just wouldn't go any faster. I checked for the
obvious (vacuum hoses disconnected, etc) but found nothing. My only theory so
far is a possible carb problem (possibly a torn diaphragm in one carb?) but I
can't get the car into the shop to check it out until next week. Any other
ideas where to look? Thanks.
