Poor idle ---------- over fuelin can cause this

Wont boost ----------- fuelin issues can cause this (ignition timing and check preload on actuator

Black smoke --------- over fuelin

No power --------- set up... fuelin and timing etc

Wants to cut out------------ fuelin again....


all in all i think get a decent set up and see if it shud fix it... shudnt cost much!

You more than likely have an air leak amongst other problems. When/how did this start exactly???
