American Vintage Bicycle Supply
Cruisin' on my Bluebird
So I have had my J model for about a year now and it's been very easy on me. No major problems at all. Ran great.
Recently, I took it up to Chattanooga to visit a friend. Took it up there, started it up and everything was fine.
Once I got home, I swapped the points cover with a nicer reproduction and added an air filter.
It hasn't ran right since then. I took it to a local small engine shop and he said that it was the head gasket. He said it busted and was leaking air.
So I replaced the gasket with a memory-lane Re-pop but no change.
It will start fine but once I give it gas it wont accelerate right. The rpms go up and down instead of steadily increasing.
When I try to adjust the carb it make no difference.
Timing? Sticky value? Thoughts?
