High RPM power loss
I have an 84 with a 12A. It has a racing beat header and presilencer. I also removed the rats nest and rebuilt the carb a week ago. I have replaced the fuel filter. It still dies off in higher RPM's. It seems quick up untill then, but then it nose dives. I got beat by my brothers 94 1.5 civic the other day. I am running the stock muffler right now and it has an exhaust leak about mid way back. Could these be part of the problem. I also think it is running a little rich. Does anyone have any suggestions of what the problem might be. I have searched and searched and found nothing.
Thanks,
Chris

Yep, that's the place to start. If that checks out, you might have to rebuild the carb. If your secondary jets are clogged, you won't be able to get enough fuel into the carb at higher rpms to maintain power.

thanks i will perform the fuel pump volume test today and get back with the results. I thought the carb was the problem, but i rebuilt it a week ago and it still does it.

I didn't get a chance to check the pump today. It is not making any noises at high RPMs. I will also check the timing. I got the carb rebuild kit at advance.

When you rebuilt the carb, did you remove the jets (the ones where you go through the sight window to remove them)? That's where my blockage was, resulting in high rpm power loss.

Does anyone have any comments on switching the mechcanical secondaries. I have been thinking about switching it but i was wondering if it helped out that much.
