FWIW: Hope this helps if one has a malfunctioning early B-1 Carburetor, (or even an A carburetor), flooding at instant stops:

I have what Mr. Paul Moller referred to in Chapter 9 of his Volume 2 Book as the earlier B-1 Model B carburetor, with the "drum shaped float" which used to flood the vehicle's engine and cause the engine to stall upon sudden stops, similar to that of the round bottom Zenith A carburetor.

Stalling immediately stopped once and for all ........ but, after following Mr. Rex Reheis's recommendation, i.e., in his book, to adjust the A or B carburetor float such that the fuel level in the carburetor bowl is 5/16" lower than that of Ford's recommendation.
