Stumbling & stalling off idle - bad gas?
This is for a SBC 350. Car runs fine on the highway and in park, but at a light she starts shaking a little, then off-idle she shuts off. She starts right up after. This happened mostly on some short hills.
Put in some seafoam and filled the tank with premium, she is running a little better, she stays alive but still stumbles. Should I add heet and change the fuel filter? |
carbureted or injected?

Carbed 1978 SBC 350.
Guy said car sat for 4 months without stabil. |
:D would it have an reel rock carb on it?
|
Time to tare the carb apart and clean the crap out from today's Ethenol cut fuel, gas tank additive will not fully help at times !
|
Get a carb kit like a Walker and go thru it.
Give it a good cleaning and use the new accel pump included Record the stamped jet sizes and primary metering rods |
suspect some plugs getting wet-fouled. Carb redo with idle enrichment may help close the Primaries.
