Re: 1949 2262 Died On Me

On my very first Packard in the ‘60s, a 1939 Six, the same thing happened and in this case we never even made out out of the little town of Port Hadlock, WA where I bought it. The previous owner’s father was with me and called an old-time mechanic who fixed it easily. It may not apply to your later carburetor but on mine there was a screen in the carburetor inlet that was plugged. After cleaning it, we drove by way of ferry from far Northern Washington State to norther east Bellevue where I lived (walking distance to where Microsoft now is) without any more problems.
