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.
