1927 LaSalle 303 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 My car idles perfectly but when driving an incline it lacks strength, backfires and skips. Have changed floats and everything without results. Please help. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the timing is correct and the distributor is working properly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I like the observation that 80% of carburetor problems are ignition related. That said, if you are running the original Cadillac Johnson carburetor, good luck. As Ed says, brand new they were barely adequate. I have a 29 Cadillac so I’ll commiserate with you.

edinmass Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Ok.....lots of questions. Is it 100 percent stock ignition? 100 percent stock fuel system? and 100 percent stock carburator? Post photos please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmhowe Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I had a car with the same symptoms. Turned out to be a bad coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
