Thread: 383 flat spot

Tweet

My 383 now and then will develope a flat spot just as you go to take off.
it always does it down low from idle as you accelerate slowly you can feel it and if i dont feather it it will stall.
Most of the time its fine.

It has a brand new 650 mighty demon fitted .
Any ideas

Does this happen after it warms up?

First have you checked your fuel level in the bowls?
If this is correct then look at your accelerator pump.
Or it could be a squirter size problem.

Good point about warming up. Does it do it when you first drive away? Carbs will do that, people who are used to FI don't expect it.
