Fuel issues. M4ME Carb.
Recently I purchased a 81 350 c10 with some kind of fuel problem. At first I was thinking that it could be the choke, but after diagnosing that wasn't the problem i'm left scratching my head with more questions then answers.
It seems that when i touch the throttle the engine wants to quit. If i act fast enough and pull my foot away from the gas it will pop back to life. if it does die out completely then it can be hard starting. NOW! I should mention that I have not attempted to tune the carb at this point but I am under the impression that it is in relatively good running capacity. Is there anything that i should be looking for as far as a solution or something to point me in the right direction for finding a solution. |

Re: Fuel issues. M4ME Carb.
You again!! LOL!!
Could be a couple or three things or more. 1. Lack of initial timing. 2. Accelerator pump not working. 3. Stuck metering rods. 4. Intake temperature. |

Re: Fuel issues. M4ME Carb.
Could be egr. My 86 did something similar, i unplugged the vacuum hose and plugged the end of it and problem solved. The egr valve was fully opening when i started to apply throttle
