My Corona Is Leaning Out At Low Revs! :(

[djbmx15]

Hey guys, I have a 1966 rt40 corona, the battery was pretty old and sometimes it wouldnt fire but would turn over when i turned the key

Got a new battery for it 2 days ago and it starts fine now.

 

New problem - now with the new battery, it feels like it is leaning out pretty badly at low revs and it jolts and like chokes sort of around corners on low revs when you put your foot down a little bit.

did not do this before^^

 

Car - 1966 Corona.

 

Engine - 2R single carb, 8v.

 

any help would be sick!

Throw a carby kit through it. She'll love it!

Yeah I can't see how the batery could cause that, so a carbie kit, or even just a good clean would be a start.

 

Whip out the jets and check them, make sure the pump jet is pumping, and squirt petrol through the drillings with a syringe.

 

Check the dwell on the points (better than feeler guages) and the timing.

 

I'm not familiar with the 2R, but engines is engines and it pays to check ignition and fuel first.
