Default Help!!

I have developed a problem with the linkage on by Weber set up. I have 48 IDAs on a 351W. The engine has 300 miles on it and initially I had a slight problem with the linkage binding once I reached about 1/4 throttle, but it would always pass through the rough spot.

Today I had the car on the high way and after 40 miles, or so, the thorttle "locked up." I can't get more than about 1/4 throttle before it becomes stuck.

I have disconnected the left to right linkage with no change. It seems as if one of the left hand carbs is binding??

I have lubed the linkage, again with no change.

I really need some help here as I am about 80 miles from home and would like to be able to do more than 50mph on the freeway.

Thanks,

Gun Doc
