My Amphicar has recently been fully and professionally restored (700 miles now) on it. It runs perfectly expect it will no longer 'hit' top speed. I use to be able to drive it, on the flat, with 2 adults at 65-70 (with a little left -- and yes, I varied the speed as I was breaking in the engine) but now it'll only go 50. It doesn't smoke, starts and idle perfectly, rev's up fine, etc.
I've checked the fuel filter, cleaned the fuel pump (checked pressure as well), checked carb (throttle is wide open with gas pedal is down all the way), cleaned main jet. Checked that each cylinder is firing (by removing the spark plug wire and seeing if it 'stumbled' (which each did).
Appreciate any idea/ thoughts/ things to check!
Thanks!
