Ok, I've scoured the archives, and tried everything mentioned. The whole story:
A few days ago I took off my carbs (SU HS4) to clean them. I disassembled them, cleaned everything with carb cleaner, and reassembled them. Before the cleaning there was an intermittent miss above 4k rpm.
I put the carbs back on, and the car can barely hit 60mph on a level road. Before it had no problem cruising at 85mph. Took carbs apart, front carb throttle plate was a little off. Fixed that, which fixed idle problem. Yet still no power. Hit the gas and it just bogs down. Mixture makes no difference. Timing is spot on. Fuel going to both carbs. Pump and filter are good. Plugs are perfect color. Float levels are spot on. If I had another set of carbs I'd throw them on to see what would happen.
I've checked for vac leaks. There is a slight leak on each throttle shaft. Surpise there, I know. I have one more thing to check. I wonder if a jet tube somehow got kinked and the fuel flow isn't quite right. Thoughts?
