Always difficult to troubleshoot remotely.
=20
You may have to do standard checks on all systems =E2=80=93 air, fuel =
and spark
Alcohol in the fuel can tear up hoses and gaskets
Check to make sure fuel filter is OK
Check for vacuum leaks=20
=20
My 1st thought =E2=80=93 the fuel level is high
Check the float level and check for any debris in the float bowl
=20
Remove the air filter and idle engine to see if it is an air flow =
problem.=20
=20
Hope this helps

Subject: [Tigers] The latest problem: Surging
=20
Ok, so I got the vacuum advance sorted and reset the timing, etc. But =
now there's another issue.
=20
The car starts and warms up normally, choke opening, temperature gauge =
coming up to the thermostat temp, etc. But then it starts surging at =
idle. Accelerating, driving both seem fine. But when it goes back to =
idle, waiting at a stoplight or something, it starts having these little =
dips, which soon become larger dips, to the point where it stops. It =
restarts right away, then does it again. At a stoplight I have to left =
foot brake so that I can keep my foot on the throttle to keep it alive. =
=20
=20
Here's a video I shot in the garage as it started to do it after warming =
up. Anybody seen this before or... cured it?
