Anybody have experience with this issue?
Sometimes on hot days (about 90 in MI today) during a longer drive in my Corvair, it will start backfiring and running sluggishly when I try to give it gas (accelerate) at speed (say 50 MPH). Today I carefully backed off on the gas and it sort of cleared up. When it cools off it seems to be fine.
I also have the hot starting problem that plagues a lot of our Corvairs.
Does this sound like I need a carburetor rebuild? Or maybe it is related to flooding somehow due to running hot?
Thanks,
Scott
