When put under a load the engine stalls. To get home I have to fully choke the carb and feather the gas. I replace the fuel pump today and that helped for a while. I drove about 3 miles with no problems then all of a sudden it started doing the same thing.
Any ideas?

When the fuel is agitated, sediment will clog the sock and drop off when the engine stalls, when the suction drops from the pickup tube. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Loosen the gas cap. Takeing a few miles before it shows up brings up the possibility of a cloged up vent or improper gas cap.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

I will try the gas cap thing and see what happens. I went ahead and ordered a new sending unit and carb today though. Hopefully that helps. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | Ive had similar probs before, carb was cloged up with krap from the tank and other time vacuum adv line was off producing huge vacuum leak.
