MY 1980 CALIFORNIAN IS HESITATING,BOGGING AND WONT RUN UNDER HEAVY LOAD.I HAD CARB CLEANED (DELLATORO)AND AN ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP PUT ON IT,NOW IT RUNS WORSE. ANY IDEAS.

I put an electric fuel pump in mine.
The pump is too strong for the SU carb and overwhelmed the float valve. This caused fuel to leak out of the top of the carb.
A serious fire risk !!
I am going back to the mech pump.

My Moke started baulking, lack of power which was partly solved by renewing the spark plugs and the leads etc.
