[Fot] Stutter at 4K rpm

[Rick Parent]

Yes, it is a float issue, lower the level, the car is having trouble pulling through the rich spot. This will not effect the top end jetting. Or you can go up 2 numbers on the choke size.

pull your float and give it a shake. Common problem.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I will inspect the pipe to manifold and manifold to head to see if anything is loose or any leaks apparent in the morning.



I actually went down a main jet 145 to 140 and that seemed like it helped some but didn't clear up the issue (which is going leaner; opposite of what Greg said). 



It is missing and backfiring when I am full on the gas. I can prevent it by easing into the gas.



I did notice some gas at my air cleaner to velocity stack connection. I wonder if it is a float issue?

Don't know if my other email made it to you. Backfires on deceleration can be a lean condition. Have you checked your plugs?  Maybe something got "adjusted" with the bump.

Subject: Stutter at 4K rpm






Two races ago I went off track and bent my exhaust pipe enough to break the welded joint near the muffler. In the interest of time, I cut the exhaust at the muffler and secured the pipe to the frame.



At the last race, I noticed the car would backfire at deceleration which I am not surprised but I also noticed a stutter around 4-5k rpm.




At NOLA this weekend it is more pronounced and comes in when shifting hard from 3rd to 4th. After 5k, it clears up and pulls normally.



It doesn't seem to be affected by turns and more related to full throttle vs easing into the gas.



Backpressure from the loss of muffler or unrelated issues?



1300 spitfire with single Weber 40.
