I have a 1641 DP, and when I stop at lights, stop signs, etc. it stalls within 30 secs. I can not keep it running without constant revving. Other than that, the car drives beautifully once it is moving.

| Seems like your carb needs adjusting. You may have to adjust the throttle on it. I'd pay pump the gas up and ref it when your at a stop. |

Mine did that awhile back.
Make sure your timing is correct for your dizzy,
Then set your carb(s).

Carb? Tune-up? Makes it tough to diagnose without some more info, other than 'it stalls'
If stock carb, everything else in good working order, I would check carb adjustment (including choke) and double check your idle shut off solenoid on the side of the carb. Make sure you hear a click when touching the connector to the solenoid.

While it could be several things, I like what Bob states, check the electomagnectic cut off solenoid and make sure it is;
hooked up to + side of the coil ( and clicks with the key on.. pull the wire on and off a few times to make sure
not LOOSE in the carb body, just being loose causes it not to have ground and not work.
or a piece of debris in the "idle pilot jet" which is a brass screw in jet on the right side of the carb behind/below the choke
will also cause this symtom.
I would check those first and go from there. |
