Many years ago I had a problem like that with my 140. Holding a constant speed or going down a slightly down hill grade.
For me, I solved it by re-synking the secondaries and also reducing the secondary carb jet size.
Craig has good advice also.

Rampside Ramp Alignment-Bumper bushings.
I just received my pair of rebuilt Rampside Ramp Alignment bumper-bushings from Steve Spilatro. As with all the FC parts he is making, these are as close to NOS as I believe can be found. One sends him the old bumpers. He removes the old rubber. Cleans and bead blasts the metal frame. Then he someho...

Re: Rockauto F/C Brake Parts
I know coating has been noted as retaining heat. For our FC Bricks, that may not be an issue.
The last set of drums I bought were from NAPA. They came from Canada. But that was 20+ years ago.

Re: I'm Baaaack!
To Wittsend. I'm wishing the best for your Son and his condition. I can't imagine. For me it's been just 6 months of pain, discomfort and many sleepless nights avoiding the narcotics and opting for ice packs instead. I'm 69 and this has really been trying my patience. So I can't imagine what your So...

I have been away from this site for quite a while. Lots going on, including a complete new suspension. I put it off long enough. But last year I came to the conclusion that after a crazy year of more than usual traveling, I had to get it done. Sooo. in November I had my Left knee replaced. And then ...

Re: 2017 Great Western FanBelt Toss & Swap Meet
Aa Toss 2017.jpg Again a great year at the Toss. Every space was sold and IECC had to squeeze in a few more. Literally trailers of bins of parts arrived! The music was good. The food at the park and banquet was excellent! :tu: Even getting locked into the porta- pot didn't dampen my enjoyment of th...

Re: South Coast Corsa Cruise-In 2017: Ageless to Anarchy
Was a great event again this year!
The location at the transportation museum was super. Lots of easy parking for cars displayed.
I will definitely participate again next year.
Great job South Coast Corsa!

Re:2016 Fanbelt Toss Swap Meet in Palm Springs
What a great year. Vintage Corsa did a great job with scheduling and setting up this event. I have not seen such a busy Friday afternoon in many years! Saturday was banner. They sold out all the swap spaces. Repositioned the car show up front. Kick-off and banquet parties were both at the Elks. Good...

It's been a while since I posted about the Rampside project. Basically I have been detailing the undercarriage and spending a lot of time with yet another home renovation project.

Re: New member from France
Welcome. One unique thing about owning a Corvair, even here in the USA is that the vehicle is unique. We see so many Chevrolets, Fords, Hot-Rods and muscle cars at events and shows here. Driving up in a Corvair always gets attention. Many times more then the high dollar collector cars! Thanks for yo...

Re: Boiling sound coming from underneath carbs
Time to break out the mechanics stethoscope and listen to a pin point for that sound. Hard to tell from the picture, but do you have the insulator spacer and gaskets under each carburetor? What you may be hearing is fuel boiling in the float bowl. Modern fuels vaporize much faster then old leaded ga...
