Weak engine and stuttering

[USA Bias]

So i've finally managed to get the engine starting just fine, and I started off to Fleetari's to get the body repaired. I immediately noticed that the car was going like 1 mile an hour because the engine was stuttering (every time it got up to 60 rpm it dropped back down to 20.) I searched everywhere on the internet and maybe I haven't been using the right keywords but I can't find the solution to this problem anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

First, are you using experimental test branch?
Two, are you using mods?
Three have you used the editor?if yes which things?

[USA Bias]

I'm not in the test branch, I dont have mods, and I don't have the editor.

have you tuned it?

[USA Bias]

Yes I've tuned the valves ~20 counter-clockwise and 7 clockwise. This fixed a clicking noise but not this problem.

Did you adjust the distributor.

I believe these are symptoms for bad sparkplugs, but since you just finished building the car I'm assuming those are fresh. Could be distributor related, can you hear light ringing while the engine is running? You should only be able to hear this during engine start for 1 or 2 seconds, not when the engine is idleing

Thanks, that fixed the problem. I feel so stupid now.

You feel stupid, but you don't know how often I've build the car and forgot to fill the tank with fuel

First time i built the car i forgot to tighten one of the carburetor/exhaust manifold’s bolt... and the fuel line at the back of the tank. No wonder it caught fire.

Also, it leaked oil like crazy. You, in comparison, is a pro already! Thank god i at least built it the right way the second time.

Now, 5 or 6 Satsumas later, it all feels a whole lot easier, though i’m still learning the electric system and all the wiring.

I’m having a similar problem but I’ve made sure the distributor is tuned and I’ve replaced the spark plugs but still it just doesn’t want to accelerate without cutting the throttle every second or so
