Re: Need Help....72 C10 Keeps Dying

My 69 C10 used to do that, it turned out the float had a hole in it. I tried to buy a new float but no one had one, it had a Rochester "two jet" carb. The float had actually broken apart at the seam, I took it out an soldered it back together and havent had any problems again.
It was a pain soldering the float, every time I would get it almost sealed the heat would blow out the last bit of solder, I finally submerged the lower part in water and soldered the last bit closed.
