Re: 1969 C10 Idle Issues

Thanks for all the feedback.

Here are answers to questions.

Engine pulls good and starts with no problem when cold. It does give me trouble restarting after it is hot and it stalls though.

This truck is pretty basic. It only has PCV and distributor vacuum lines. I have plugged both of those and I still have the same problem once it is warmed up.

Yes, the choke is off. In fact, if I use my hand to partially cover the carb inlet, it stays running. The choke coil is in the manifold and is free and seems to work properly.

It ran for well over a week with no problems after the second ultrasonic cleaning rebuild.

I got the idea for the ultrasonic cleaning from a Jeep forum. They use the same carb and a guy had the exact same issue as me. He cured it after ultrasonic cleaning. I did the same and thought I had it conquered.

On a side note, if I put an inline filter in, where should I put it? The fuel line from the pump to carb is all nice stock tubing and I hate to cut it. I could put it before the pump but that always seems weird to me.

Thanks,
Jim
