[T3] cutoff valve

["Brad" <BnPWOOD2@att.net>]

I'm the guy with the type 3 engine in my dune buggy.  I have had a coupkle
monthe s relatively problem free driving of my buggy.  However, I have a new
problem.  I need some help.  FYI, it is a 1600 dual carb.

    The thing was running great.  then, it started running lousy.  I found
that the right hand intake manifold was loose where it bolts to the head.  I
tightened that up, and it was running great.  At least for a few days.
Yesterday, the idle cutoff valve on the right hand carb must have just
dropped off while going down the road.  It suddenly started running lousy on
my way home from work.  I had no power to speak of.  When I got home I found
that the cutoff valve was missing.  I went to the local dune buggy shop, all
they had was a used one that was close.  They gave it to me.  It now has a
bit more power, but under load when I put the petal to the metal, it has
quite a bit of miss, and it starts popping in the right hand header.

    I ASSume that the problem is the valve, as it is the only thing that I
am aware of that changed between the time it was running well and now.

    Where can I get the correct one?
    Do I possibly have another problem?

Thank you,
Brad
