Need Help....72 C10 Keeps Dying

[AirSpeed]

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.

First make absolutely sure you have good cables and connections to the starter and ground. The cable posts can get corroded internally and is not visible unless you peel back the sheathing.

Second, buy or borrow a volt meter and place it across the battery posts and with the engine idling insure you are getting at least 13 vdc or more it may read betseen 12-14.5vdc depending on battery charge.
