Re: truck wanting to quit?
Sounds like you could use a good ol fashioned tune up.
If choke not functioning then drive gentle till warm up. Make sure choke opens. Carb may be ready for an accelerator pump, tune and/or rebuild. I'd then check timing, plugs, etc. |

I'd check the Vac advance,for movement and free weights
any chance of vac leaks?

Re: truck wanting to quit?
I drive this truck gentle most always. And I always let the choke settle in before taking off. The carb was rebuilt last year and I had also just did a tune up a few weeks ago. I can't see, feel or hear any vacuum leaks either. Stumped!
