Ford 800 power problems

TerryKurtts · Sep 1, 2013

My ford 800 was lunging some so my friend(mechanic) replaced the points wires etc. It runs great until I am mowing or maybe in higher rpm cruising with no load. I blew out the gas line again and it sees to flow well. We put a clear line filter on that is not vertical but it doesn't seem to be going dry. My buddy checked the carburetor before and seemed to have it right. I thought maybe it may be the mixture adjustment but I'm looking for advise before I bug my friend again. Thanks

Point gap could be too wide not allowing them to close at higher RPM.

The condenser in my 851 was bad and caused the engine to run poorly at high rpm and load.

Have you taken a small light and checked for crud in the tank? The fuel flow can be drawing it to the in-tank screen temporarily plugging it.

In line fuel filter?

Designed for gravity flow fuel systems? (Nearly all are not.)

Post back.
