Default Re: Carb questions and thoughts

There is a great site for Zenith carburetors at http://model-a.org/symptoms.html

Here is what they say about stalling at stops:

Engine dies when vehicle comes to a stop

Common Causes
  • Float is set too high or a pin hole absorbs gasoline into float.
  • Compensator Jet Orifice contains dirt or rust, or is too small.
  • Idling Jet Orifice contains dirt or rust, or is too small.
  • Idle Air Adjust Screw is mis-adjusted or too short, collapsing spring before it seats.
  • Throttle Idle Adjustment Screw is mis-adjusted.
  • Upper Casting Idle Jet Passage is restricted to Idle throat port.


There are other discussions about carburetor problems.
