Default Re: Engine Stalls...

Bob... Maybe that did not make sense?
There were pin wholes in the floats. It would fill up with gas on hard acceleration or decelleration. And even if the car was started on a hill, the float would also fill up gas and sink in the bowls. I did not know why. During regular cruising the car would cruise fine but we could not get the carb to idle. I guess it has something to do the lack of gas in the bowls? The carb is a service replacement unit and had a plastic floats at the time. Took the carb to our speed shop and the replaced the plastic units with an aluminum (or metal looking) unit. Problem solved. Does this help?
