Acceleration?

My 1973 F100 360 has a lil trouble accelerating. When you first push the pedal down it has very litle acceleration so you push it down more then it boggs down, then push it beyond that bogg point and it speeds up really quick. What would be causing that? It just started doing this today.

Thanks
Matthew

Then you need some adjustments to it.

Is the accelerator rod indexed correctly ?

What carb is it ?

Funny thing but when I had a signal gang or track resurfacing gang work some where on my Rail Road Signal Maintainer's District, I could count on some overtime to fix some trouble. Sometimes it weren't pretty. ;)

Sounds like the carb is leaning out during the "bog" and riching back up enough to over come that lean condition when you get the full power circuit to kick in.

Same at the bottom end... richness in the idle/low speed circuit is making up for the lean condition.

Just my take on it from waaaaay over here. ;)
