<VV> Another Possibility Re: PG engine bogs when accel. idles fine

[FrankCB at aol.com]

While Matt's hypothesis is more likely, it could otherwise be a combination  
of retarded ignition timing and advanced throttle opening such that high 
vacuum  advance occurs at idle speed.  If that's true, then when you accelerate  
above idle the vacuum advance REDUCES creating a "bog" in throttle  response.  
So check base igntion advance and vacuum advance (should be NO  vacuum advance 
at idle).

To test... .disconnect drivers side linkage to  carb....engine running /  
idling

ONE carb at a time....   open it's throttle....   the side  that dies is the 
bad  carb

Can  anyone tell me if a powerglide on the fritz could  make an engine bog 
down when  you go to accelerate but be perfectly  fine when in idle? 
Everything 
else seems  to be running fine and the  carbs seem to be ok. Any thoughts?
