Hey guys, I recently put a new carb on my jeep, also did a tune up. While im shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd if there is any incline what do ever, engine seems sluggish until the RPms are higher. Does anybody know what this could be? Thank you!
 
If you didn't notice it prior to the carb change I would check the float levels and make sure you got them leveled properly. Improper float levels have been known to cause hesitation. What kind of carb are you running?
 
if you changed the timing during the tune up,I would check that.Check that the vacuum advance is hooked up correctly and working.Check for vacuum leaks
 
Pull your plugs and check for soot build up.. May be running to rich for the slower RPMs also. Mixture, timing and advance.. Check em all.
