Re: Carlisle 2013 register now!
just got home, had an interesting drive. 5th gear at 1/4 throttle is undrivable at times. I'm wondering if the TB is sticking. I got on it before it got too hot ad it ripped 1-3 gear getting onto the turnpike coming out of carlise, ran fine. hour and a half into the trip 5th gear 1/4 throttle started acting up. stopped to get fuel idle was 1500 rpm but when I kicked the throttle it settled down to ~800ish. hard to get a real reading when it's that low. third gear WOT hesitated a bit but I kept it flat and it pulled hard to 7000, same thing with a first gear pull after I stopped for gas. 4th and 6th on the highway are fine. went flat in 6th at 68 and ran it up to nearly 100 ran fine. 4th pulled like it should. Could a sticking throttle body cause hesitation like i'm experiencing and if so how do I clean it properly

Re: Carlisle 2013 register now!
I will remember this Carlisle show as one of the best.
Great weather. Free food. Gordon Liddy was in our tent on most of Friday and all of Saturday. Dave McLellen was in our tent on Friday and Saturday. The banquet at Stocks on 2nd in Harrisburg had first class people and food. C7 Corvettes of all colors were running around the streets of Carlisle. |
