13b running weak/weird
Hey Im having some problems with my car. It runs but it runs like a 4 cylinder would if it was down a cylinder or two. I checked the plugs to make sure everything was connected and it was. Any ideas or suggestions? thanks in advance.

compression test..Search that (I'm lazy) ..and while you have the plugs out,and if you find the compression good, change the plugs and wires(fuel filter if it has been sittin awhile)..(you may want to get a manual,it is very usefull),,so do the basic tune-up and checks first..all I can say because you did not really get specific..

I'd say it's your carb. Float is sticky, or what ever. Your seals are fine (whew). Your choke is shutting off? It's the mix I say.
