Hello,
I’ve spent a lot of time reading through the forums, but have not been able to solve my problem. I have a 1997 Challenger with a rebuilt engine purchased from sbt. It will start and idle fine but when I try to give it throttle it quickly bogs and dies or occasionally backfires through the exhaust and then dies. It does this both in and out of the water. I tried the fuel selector in the on position and in the reserve position with no change. Along with the engine the fuel lines and filter were replaced, the fuel selector was replaced, the pick up was removed and cleaned, the spark plug wires were trimmed back, a new rotary valve was installed, and it was converted to premix. It is currently running 32:1 as per the break in instructions. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
