360ci bogging

ok the truck starts and idles great but when i first hit the gas it bogs just a littel very littel then when its driving its fine up to half way to the floor but when you put it down further it boggs out

its this just a tuning problem or is there more to it

I have it 2.5 turns out

Check your timing for correct setting.....vacuum advance mechanism....and inside the distributor cap for corrosion.

If Mil1ion don't have it guessed right... take off the carb and clean it out?

Has there been any chance for water to have gotten into the fuel bowl?

Two barrel carb, right? The usual problem....so, if it isn't timing, or carb adjustment, it's.....

.....The dreaded accelerator pump. Located front of carb behind squarish plate with lever held on by 4 bolts.

Careful when removing the cover, there's a coil spring behind it.

Cool. :)

I'm not familiar with the way a 2100 acts without an accelerator pump because mine runs the same with no stumbling (warmed up and in warm weather) even with the control rod removed.

I believe that is because I reamed the low speed circuit jets back in '75.
(they are at the tips of the skinny brass tubes inside the emulsion tubes)

I have my accelerator pump-rod set on the lowest setting and that takes a special non-interfering rod clip at the rear.

the werid thing is with this problem it was running fine with no bogging or anything when i bought it and then i fixed a leak and seals and all that internal junk in the carb. and it would idle and drive and all that great and you could push it.

but then just latly it has started acting like this. i was told to try "Sea Foam" i saw that there was a can of it behind the seat of the truck so the other owner must have used it before

anyone have any good use with it ?
