Got a 85 GSL has a half throttle problem
First a couple of pics.
The car has 147k on it just rebuilt the carb and did a full tune up with fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap, button and super stock accel coils. It has a small oil leak coming from the oil cooler, the only other problem is a stuttering when I am at half throttle, and the car runs out of power after 5500rpm. The car pulls pretty strong(could be better) off of idle if I mash the gas but like i said runs out of power at 5500rpm, but if I am cruising it spits and sputters. The car is also using a ton of fuel. I cant find any leaks or smell any raw fuel.
With the correct timing set and idle set, and at operating temps it pulls 19-20ft of vac at idle. Is this normal or two low. Any help would be helpful so thanks in advance.
