Have a ford 801 gas that runs great except when under a good load and throttle 3/4 or more. It then beings to spit and sputter. It has fresh tune up and rebuilt carb. The timing is right on. We tried it with a little more advance to no avail. Did the same thing last summer. All the work was done because it hardly ran after setting over winter, so we did the tune up. We also swapped the coil with another 801 and it did not change. It has good fuel flow as far as I can tell. When I remove the plug from the bottom of the carb it has higher flow for the first few minutes and then slows a little. Figure the input isn't as wide open as the hole for the plug. We also changed the fuel shut off as it was restricting flow when tested at the bowl. So I am missing something just don't know what it is. Any ideas?
