Power loss
Hey guys,
I took her out today and was running fine. Then came up to a stop light for 3 mins. When it finally changed to green, I pulled out and she had no power hardly at all. I had to rev her up so much in 1st gear to get her to go. Then shifting to 2nd and 3rd, she just dragged. I pulled over and saw smoke coming out of the exhaust, fan and oil breather. I limped her back home. She idles fine. Oil is good. No burning smell. I converted her to dual carbs a while back and been running well and then this. I don't think it is a lack of fuel. I just tore down the carbs a week ago and cleaned them thoroughly. I've been driving her around. Any ideas?

Turned out my adjustment components on one of my carbs came loose. That was the reason she idled perfect but only had one carb pulling.....Glad that was all it was. Runs great now.
