Default Re: Power loss, reduced power, wot, high speed power loss

To the OP- if the mounts are loose and the engine is vibrating around a lot, it will cause the fuel to froth in the float chamber, and it will cause the problem you had. It make a sporadic lean condition. Hitting the tickler holds the float still and lets the float chamber fill up better.
