Ghia stalling issue

[Grouseslayer2]

Not major but annoying… 1969 Ghia starts right up. For first like 15 minute if drive it will stall when coming up to stop with clutch pushed in. A quick pump of the gas pedal before it stalls will catch it and it will idle normally. Problem goes away after about 15 minutes of running.
Timing is fine and I checked Solex 30 pict 2 adjustments. Idle jet is clean.
Any ideas?? Thanks

That's odd, sounds like you checked all the usual trouble spots. Did you check for vacuum leaks? Maybe something is a little loose and leaking vacuum but goes away once the engine is warm. Just a suggestion.

I guess I’ll have to start a search. Thanks for the advice. Only other thing I was thinking about was valves maybe.

Have you adjusted the choke? Possibly the culprit if this happens in the first few minutes of driving as the engine is warming up.
What's the reason for having the clutch pedal pushed in when coming to a stop?

Feel the heat pipe under the intake manifold when you first start the motor, it should get too hot to touch after a few min.s (feel under the carb. area and each side) if it stays ice cold you found the problem, the gas is puddling in the intake manifold and flooding the motor when you hit the brakes. You will need to clean the carbon out of the preheat pipe to fix it (this shows up when the weather turns cold).

Now I have to find an easy way to do it. Steel cable with drill but I would rather leave the tubes on the car.

You could drill a hole at the bend and drill with the cable (just let the carbon go in the muffler where it will blow out the exhaust) then put a hose clamp over the hole and drive to someone that can weld up the hole.
