Engine dies in gear?
Hi all, I've recently put a new carb and trans in my 65 truck. Ran the truck to work and back (approximately 25 miles) with no issues until I got a few blocks from my house, the engine then began dying at stoplights. It started right back up out of gear until put in gear, if you give it gas it's fine in gear though.
I took it to my friends prior to the issue, they said it seemed good. All having 20+ years in the mechanical field. The engine runs great, slightly rich. I was wondering if anyone had this problem before, thanks in advance!
