low power, advise please

Post by leroy99 »

after fixing my fuel prob i took the van for a test drive (2ltr CU,twin solex) but it would only do about 40mph tops. it felt like it wanted to go but was restricted. checked the accelerator linkage and the carbs open fully when the pedal is pressed
were should i be checking next, timming, carb adjustment
sorry forgot to add that the top end has been rebulit (new piston rings, honned cylinders)could the engine just need running in
any advise would be much appreciated as im ripping my hair out after today (Chat, worst day in the world ever)
