Re: 1968 C2500 engine dying; UPDATE

Over the weekend I cleaned the choke mechanism and checked all carb adjustments. Went to lean side with vacuum break adjustment. I thought maybe it was stalling because it was too rich.

This morning was 55. Got to my destination (2-3 miles) and engine died as I pushed in clutch to pull into parking place. Without touching the gas pedal, I cranked it and it started right up. It ran at the low end of high idle (about 1000 rpm). What I need to look at next time it stalls is where the choke is at. I wonder what would happen if I just removed the choke plate...
