Idling rough after pulling a stump out - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RicksTrucks · 07-27-2008, 09:02 PM

69 SWB with 350 crate, 4 barrel Edelbrock carb.

Was using the truck to pull out a small tree stump. The tractor wasn't running and the wife wanted it out.

Pulled a few times and a couple of the times it killed the engine when I got to the end of the chain. The time before the stump actually came out, when I restarted it, it ran rough. Finished the job and the checked it out.

Idles a little rough in neutral. Put it in drive and it is worse, but seems to drive okay.

I check the distributor (HEI) to make sure it was tight and didn't move and it seemed okay. Any ideas?
