Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / September 2005Surging
Does anyone have experience with a Stude V8 surging. A friend of mine has that problem and he thought is was running too lean. I send him some of the biggest jets available for the Stromberg carb.Any sugestions of why the engine would surge even though the gas pedal is held steady?

My solution was a new distributor. The Prestolite was so badly worn that the dwell would change according to the wobble as it turned. Paul Johnson Bob, My R2 Lark was surging and it turned out to be the jet and rod combination. Of course that has an AFB. > Does anyone have experience with a Stude V8 surging. > A friend of mine has that problem and he thought is was running too [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Thanks > Bob Kapteyn 1. Vacuum advance on a V8 Lark 2. Bad PCV valve on an Avanti R1 My experiences JT Bob, Most likely a distributor problem.

I had a horrible case of surging at one time on my '63 2bbl. What it wound up being was a piece of crud, blocking one of the jets. There were two large plugs with a screw driver slot near the base. The offending crud had wedged itself into the hole of the one jet. KK |
