Re: Stalling Problem

This afternoon I went for a drive, and without OD engaged there was no stalling (other than my own fault) . I was able to drive about 2 miles around my neighborhood coming to multiple stops, and slow downs.

With OD engaged I was not able to come to a stop without stalling. I coasted back into my driveway. It wouldn't restart. With Starting fluid spray, I was able to restart it without too much cranking.

I pulled it into the garage and took the top section of the carburetor off. With the car running the fuel level in the float bowl was approximately 19/32 to 5/8 rather than the 15/32 spec. It's a little hard to see in the picture, but the gauge is set for 15/32, and the fuel level is well below that.

I adjusted, put everything back together and took and took her out for a spin. Definitely drove better, with more pep. Still stalled with OD engaged, but was able to restart pretty quickly.

Here are a few pictures of the rebuilt carburetor, and one of the fuel level before adjusting.

I'm still puzzled about the stalling while slowing to come to a stop with OD engaged.

I'm pretty excited!
You guys are awesome.
Thank You for helping me make progress!

Chad
