Hi guys, another little problem. A friend has now also bought a Tudor, but the engine has too little power. He didn't get more than 40 miles. Acceleration isn't particularly good either. I now have a direct comparison with my 1930 Tudor, and that's worlds apart. We have already checked and adjusted the ignition. But everything was OK. If the GAV is not open at least one turn, there will also be misfires!
Then we removed the Zenith carburetor and installed a Tillotson, which made it run even worse. (The carburetor came out of the grabber box.) But then we installed my Zenith carburetor, with which I drive over 60 miles, which also didn't help. Now we're fishing something in the murky and don't know what to do next. In my opinion, he gets enough gasoline. Nothing is dirty either. We also cleaned his carburetor again, but that didn't help either.
Where else could you look?

Greetings Andy
