My 59 engine in my 36 is breaking up at mid range RPM at first I thought it was ignition.I have since found that if I pull my choke on slightly it smoothes out.The carb is a rebuilt one by one of the barns premiere rebuilders,Any comments or sugestions are appreciated. Thanks Phil

Try another coil. A weak spark will act up the same way.

This is the reason I asked the question,it acts like ignition but the choke deal puzzled me.Thanks Ken for the offer will try a coil and condenser first. Thanks Phil

ken ct · 06-21-2011, 02:24 PM

OK ken ct. Let us know whats going on.

trainguy · 07-03-2011, 06:48 PM

Took a known good carb from another car installed it on my 36, problem solved .I now appreciate how ign and fuel problems can act in a similar manor,and drive you nuts. Now to send my problem carb to Ken.

OldDad · 07-06-2011, 01:53 AM

BIG MIKE · 07-06-2011, 12:05 PM

do this before you shut of your car race the motor then shut her off, then more fuel will stay in the float.

ken ct · 07-06-2011, 12:37 PM

Thats total BS. And there is no gas in the float. ken ct.

BIG MIKE · 07-06-2011, 02:02 PM

Your BS Ken!!! because in US willys jeeps they did this and in my 2 m38a1's I do this to keep fuel in the float and in the line, Go bark up another tree before i come visit you mate!
