Carburetor problem

ErwinRommel · 08-14-2009, 06:14 PM

Well I notice this problem when I went to go test out my 4x4 the other day and it just happen again while ago to when I just went to go pull my buddy out of the ditch.

My truck stalls when I put it in 4H or 4L when I don't give it alot of gas. I had the truck in 4L (didn't know...thought it was 4H) but anyways, it wanted to stall on me while I had it in drive and it didn't seem to get much power (but it did have no problem in 4L the other day when I first tested the 4X4 out. Didn't want to stall on me then but in 4H it did). I shifted it to 4H and gas a good bit of gas and pulled him out.

I think it could be the carb not getting enough of gas.

What do yall think?

look for an open vac port or cracked line, double check the pvc that it is closes properly

How far off camber where you? If you were at weord angles it will tend to load up. Where you blowing black smoke out the tail pipes? What kid of carb are you running on it?
