I have a problem of getting fuel. Changed filter, new gas pump and cleaned carb. Stll the van will idle but will stall out when you try to give it any gas. Any ideas
Jerry, 90% of carb prolems are electrical. If, as the poster says, the carb's accelerator pump is supplying a good shot of fuel, but the engine stumbles and won't rev, then you have a weak spark. Your vehicle most likely has HEI ignition, so you could have a bad coil, it's in the cap, bad connections on the module inside the distributor, the big orange wire on the side of the distributor has a bad connection, or the rotor may have a hole burnt right through the center of it. The HEI system will make about 60,000 open circuit voltage, so it can burn holes where there shouldn't be any. |
