[hr]


64 Pan M74 linkert , runs good on high end . When I come to a stop and it idles down its drops to one cylinder and back fires . Have tried plugs , points , condensor and plug wires . What else should I look at besides carb and what in carb should I look for if this seems to be part of the problem ? Dick

 

Look for a possiblemanifold leak on the cylinder that quits firing.

 

Also, if this is a single points ignition, move the plug wires from one plug to the other (only at the spark plug end). If the missing cylinder moves, chck the coil, and recheck the plug wires. If it doesn't move, the manifold leak is a likely culprit.

 

thanks for yall help

 

 

carb is 43 yrs old time for a new one. thanks everybody

 

Sometimes they just won't take a rebuild any longer. Shine it up and make a classy paperweight!

 

throttle shaft& bushings, J&P sells them.

 

Just went through the same deal with my 64 it was in awful running order had to break down and replace it
