What's wrong with my car?
84 GS with a 12a, weber 45, all the stuff in my sig. I finally got my carb to run well enough for a test drive. All 3 blocks of it. 1st gear and all is fine, 2nd starts ok, then sputters and tries to die, 3rd is just bog and no power. When I put the clutch in, all seems fine, but under load, (except 1st) it's crap. Ideas?

right now I'vw got the stock pump wired back in. FPR was trash, ebay peice of ****. Had "holley" red style pump, but was too much without fpr. You think thats the prob? Getting a new one, but it's gonna be a week or so. Broke, spent all my money on parts for my wifes 85GS project. Guess I'm toast til then huh? Crap.

If I recall, I know almost nothing about Webers though, the factory fuel pump is way too small for an aftermarket carburetor.
The factory pump JUST puts out enough flow and pressure for the nicki to run correctly.
On the other side of this, the Holley is sending too much fuel to the carb without it being regulated down.
