  Hi all. Hope you guys can help me. Along with a bunch of other stuff my buddy 
(he is the mechanic) and I have recently finished rebuilding the carbs on my 72 
TR6. We had the thing running great (maybe a little rich, but its always been 
that way since I owned the car) in the garage. I took it out for a test drive 
and the car was running great until I got about a mile away, when it backfired 
then lost power and died. Since my fuel guage decides on its own when it wants 
to work I thought I was out of gas but that wasnt it. We werent able to get 
her restarted and had to have the car towed home.
   
  Since then we have rechecked all the electrical stuff, vacuum hoses, timing, 
valves and these dont seem to be the problem. We are able to get the car 
started briefly but then it runs terrible for a few seconds and then dies. At 
this point we are thinking of rebuilding the carbs again. The previous kit came 
from the roadster factory. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
