Default New guy with an old car (65 convertible GT)

Hey all,
Just thoughtI might learn some new info about my old car. If anybody knows how to trouble shoot a 4V carbI could use a hand. It has a stall right as soon as you depress the pedal. Rebuilt the carb, but no change. Help...!!

Welcome - you may have better luck on the carb by posting in the appropriate tech section, but in my experience, sometimes it's easier just to buy a new carb. I've had good luck with Edelbrock carbs.

But the stall could be timing related - have you checked that?

Welcome to MF!!! Sounds like an accelerator pump issue but its best you ask in the proper tech section.

Welcome to the board! It has been too long since I have messed with a carb. Post up in the Classic section and I know for a fact there are folks in there that can help you out.
