If you lost the three tenths between the last week of June and the first or second week of July, consider the radical weather change. If you were jetted a little rich last month, you are way too rich in the oppressive gunk we've had for air this month.

Change your metering rods, and you might regain half of what you lost.

Rob check brake system real good sometimes a brake line (factory rubber coated ones) will not let brake fluid return causing the rotor(s) or drums to stick on after applying the brakes. Or make sure nothings bent somewhere.Does the car coast? See if after holding the brake pedal the car rolls. or see if they stink from heat. Sounds dumb but ive been there. Keep us posted and good luck. Mike

I had a friend who ran A/SA with a hard-leaving car (G.M. 12-bolt) that suspected that his rear end housing was bent, and it was... pretty badly, BUT in just the opposite way you'd expect; his rear tires were toed OUT, not IN, as you'd think they'd be.

Go figure....

Don't know if you're running a crank trigger, but if the sensor goes bad, it will still crank and run, just won't run fast.

no crank trigger but we think we found the issue and we believe it is in the carb hesitates on launch not sure what it could be maybe door spring?

Yup. It's usually something really simple! So simple you don't even think about it! Jim
