engine angle
Hi all, looking for some technical information regarding the angle the engine is relative to the horizon. Strange question but I have an issue with the carb angle due to changes made with the engine mountings , the carb is at the incorrect angle and the truck and suffers from fuel starvation accelerating uphill only, so I need to address this issue. I think the angle is 4 degrees but not sure. I wonder if anyone could measure this angle for me . Thanks for your interest

It's my understanding engine angle has more to do with setting proper pinion angle, and due to many variables there's really no set hard and fast rule regarding degree of engine angle. I'm in agreement with Rust Wranger ie: float, I'd also try and track down/eliminate any possible fuel restriction issues, weak Pump, inline fuel filters if installed etc..?..
Out of curiosity how full is tank when this occurs?.

Air, Fuel, or Spark - If your getting good Air (clean filters) and good spark (non fouled plugs) and carb mix is adjusted properly, I think I would be concentrating my initial efforts eliminating anything that is not allowing proper "fuel volume" to get to that Pump. inline filters, line sediments, tank sediments, etc.......( a weak pump in and of itself will cause loss of power when the vehicle is under Stress, ie:. acceleration while going uphill.
