Sticky bottom feed floats can cause that. BTH are a good magneto. Magnetos usually show up when pulling at low rpm. Nev

A decent 2 litre Ford Escort would kill it. or if you want serious performance get a Ford Focus RS. Handling and braking on par with the performance. The original tires would handicap the Morriss. I suppose we all yearned for a "wolf in sheep's clothing" for a drag at the light's. Instant ...
