Re:Loss of power 2 Years, 5 Months ago  
An air/fuel ratio of 13.9 :1 is fine for cruising, but it would be too lean at WOT. Max tq is at 13.5, and wot you are better off somewhere around 12.8, the richer condition for wot is to help in keeping engine temps down and to prevent detonation. Has the float level been looked at? Too high could also cause low mpg's, and maybe that it's taking in gas too quick and engine can't burn it all causing a loss of power, likw flooding the engine. I'm really not sure on this, just throwing things up on the wall, maybe something will stick. I know the 1700 carbs the float level is higher than the carbs on the 1600 engines, but even lowering it to the 1600 float level, I don't know of anyone that has an issue with it either.
