69TR6 carb adjustment help
Hello,
I recently finished a 5,000 mile cross country trip. Near the end of the trip I noticed a slight loss of power when I would try to accellerate through inclines. At the end of my trip when I pulled into town, I noticed it made a sort of putt putt sound (sorry for the low tech description). When I pulled into the gas station the exhaust smelled a little like unburned fuel. My car did start right up, but I knew it was time for some maintenance. I did a tune up, changed the air filters, adjusted the valves, changed the oil, and flushed the radiator. It still runs the same as when I first noticed the problem. I figure it has to be the carbs, something I try to avoid because I am so bad at adjusting them. Would you agree it has to be the carbs? Does someone have directions on how to adjust carbs that is listed in a simple stepwise fashion? As always, and help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
