help! my baby's hurt. carb issues?
i have a 85 with a 12a. has header/exhaust, rats nest removal, air pump removal and stripped carb/mech secondaries. anyway i was driving(fairly spirited) and kicked four barrels open. i went as it should for 3-5 seconds. then it lost power and didnt want to idle. it will still start but it shutters and doesnt like to rev. at first i thought maybe apex seal but there is no smoke out the exhaust or anything. it isnt running rick. fuel level in float bowl looks high(top of sight glass) but noty rich. was thinking something in carb and fuel isnt getting to engine somehow. any ideas?

with no smoke out the pipe? i woulda figured if it was seal that it would smoke clouds. but i have never blown an apex. i'll check compression. not the answer i was hoping for but thanks. maybe i need to find a s3 front plate and put my 6 port from my fc in it.

I tossed an apex seal in my old motor at 213,000 miles. No smoke or anything, just a big clunk while sitting at a stoplight, followed by no power and bad shaking. Best of luck...
