1981 corvette won't take off smooth
Hi, first time post here. I have a problem with my 1981 corvette, it idles fine and once you take off it drives smooth. this issue im having is it is having a had time taking off, when you go to hit the throttle it will bog down and act like its going to shutdown then catches itself and will beginning driving smooth again. Not 100% sure what could be causing this?

With the engine off, remove the air cleaner assembly.
Make sure the choke is open and look down the front/primary side of the carburetor and move the throttle by hand.
You should see a good squirt of gasoline going into both barrels of the carburetor.
If you do not, the accelerator pump should be replaced.
