Final conclusion is, not enough gas in bowl. So it sloshed to one side when turning and stalled out Super Deluxe 41 TomO 06-05-2014 @ 8:00 AM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 7256 Joined: Oct 2009 Did you check fuel delivery? did you plug the extra vacuum port on the carburetor? Do you have a vacuum gauge? If not, I would invest in one, they are very handy for normal maintenance and trouble shooting. Here is a link to instructions on how to use and interpret one. http://www.secondchancegarage.com/public/186.cfm The idle problem sounds like a leaking power valve gasket or float too high. Look down the throat of the carburetor when the engine is idling. You should NOT see gas coming out of the nozzles.

Cleaned all carburator parts , checked float level, plugged off wiper vaccum as I believe a leak exists in the line or switch somewhere. Made sure no leak occurred in the intake manifold.a test in the car was better but not entirely as the idle stinks, it goes up and down and eventually stalls. Car ran better cool but when heated up the idle seems worst. Turning corners was better and seemed to be running better after turn and/ not shutting off. It does hesitate a little after turn. Maybe pump is acting up? this is using the carb that came with car. Coil rebuilt .barrowed a good distributor with new coil rebuilt for testing . Need mor advice..

The additional connection is for the distributor advance and should be plugged for your application. The correct carburetor has 91-99 cast into the float bowl, but a 21-29 or a 59 marked carburetor will perform satisfactorily on your engine. The sediment bowl should be full after running the car and should stay full while running the car. The bowl gasket (9364 in the drawing) needs to be soft and compliant so it can seal. The thumb screw (9387)needs to be finger tight, using pliers can warp the housing (9354) and cause vacuum leaks. You should check your fuel delivery, as it seems to be the problem. To check fuel delivery, you need a graduated 16 ounce or larger container to determine the amount of fuel delivered in a measured time. Disconnect the fuel pump line from the carburetor and direct it into a graduated container. Crank the engine long enough to get 2 ounces of gas in the container and then continue cranking for 15 more strokes of the pump. The pump should have delivered 6 more ounces of gas. Causes of insufficient fuel delivery are, vacuum leaks in the supply side of the fuel pump or plugged lines in the supply side or a weak fuel pump and rarely a worn fuel pump push rod. The stromberg carburetor was not designed for your engine and they usually do not perform as well as the correct 91-99 when both carburetor have been correctly rebuilt. Charlie has a good reputation and I would trust his rebuilt carburetor. Let us know how you make out. Tom murphy1936 05-29-2014 @ 8:09 PM reply profile send p.m. New Member Posts: 191 Joined: Nov 2013 Removed fuel filter went for test drive. Went about 35-40 and came to immediate stop, car stalled. Checked vaccums hose tighten one clip. Still no difference stalling occurs. Spoke to Charlie he wants carb back and will not allow me to pay any postage either way he will assume cost. He runs a class act business in my opinion. Btw, I emptied the gas out of the bow, it was slightly more than 1oz? Seems such a small amount. I read that a Stromberg carb would be better for my car as it has the least affect on vaccum leaks etc. Thank you for the great response to all. For the time being, I will use the carb that was on th car, it's not for my car as it does not have throttle connection. It a 1936 or 38 maybe? Besides the inlet for the gas from the pump, it has on the passenger side,w another inlet hole !? Could this be a vaccum connection?? Anyone?

It was a head scratcher until we observed a loose notor mount. The movement of the engine flexed the wire between the firewall and the distributor until it finally had a gap where it couldn't be seen inside the insulation. We found it with an ohmmeter while we moved the wiring. ford38v8 05-25-2014 @ 10:40 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 2763 Joined: Oct 2009 Murphy, It seems that we are at a disadvantage here with your problem. We don't know the year model of your car, what carburetor you are running, and your pump can be one of several, each having different characteristics. Without specifics, and without pictures, it becomes apparent that our guesses are not worth much.
