stalls when hard braking
70 250 l6. Rebuilt carb from orileys. Sometimes when making a less than perfect stop it will die. Starts right up and may not do it again. Won't do it on a easy stop. Vacuum advance is full vacuum. Any thoughts. I do have 2 fuel filters.

Re: stalls when hard braking
Float is set to high. Floods enough to kill it.

Re: stalls when hard braking
I figured it was float related. Makes the 3rd carb from orileys.

Re: stalls when hard braking
I tried 2 fuel filters once because I didn't have the money for a new tank at the time. I cleaned it out and it was still dirtying up filters, so I thought, hey, 2 would be a great idea to keep the car clean.
Not so much. Truck wouldn't run well. The stock pump couldn't pull enough fuel through 2 filters. Went back to one and she ran fine. Try getting rid of a filter and see what happens.

Re: stalls when hard braking
I know how to lower the float but having spent w bills for the carb they will make it right. With a warranty shouldn't gave to fix something 4 days old.

Re: stalls when hard braking
Oriley's stands being their stuff at least here. Will have a replacement at noon today. If it wasn't new I would have lowered the float. I think something that was "quality checked" should work. Thanks for the replies.

Should have not asked the question Could have been shopping at napa like the rest Would have prevented folks from making assumptions. But I did learn a lot. |
