i have a 1984 gsl. the problem is that at idle and with the choke on the engine starts to miss and chug a lot. this will happen through out the drive and will not cease. while accelerating i do not feel the engine miss at all. when letting out the gas i can feel it miss. i have changed the cap and rotor and a set of new plugs. any one know the solution?

 

Did this just suddenly start happening?

 

if u replaced all the plugs and wires its got to be carb related... talk to sterling

oh, its possible it could be timing related also

 

yeah like they said check the easy stuff first. Plugs, wires, and timing. They're really simple to get right if they're fouled. Also, check your choke mechanism over really well...if it's sticking then it'll give you problems. Make sure none of the manifold bolts of carb bolts are loose, check for vacuum leaks. If none of this helps you may want to have your carb rebuilt.

I always think it's hilarious when somepne says their engine is missing under certain circumstances...first thing that pops into my mind is "It's big, heavy, and bolted down. How hard can it be to find?"

 

Check the ignitors.

id say this started about maybe 1 week ago..n it has been the same through out changing the cap n rotor and spark plugs...i also sprayed carb cleaner in the carb...
