Carburetor issues/adjustments
Hey all, I just have a few questions about my truck. i am trying to get my truck to run its best before the winter really hits. I have a flathead 6, single carburetor , and it really doesn't seem to very smooth. The throttle response is terrible and a lot of the time if you give it gas you can hear the carburetor sucking in a ton of air and the motor almost cuts out. is there anything i can do to fix this? and adjustment or what not to get it to run smoother.
And while I am on the topic is there anyone who would possibly have a spare choke cable clamp? the little "s" shaped looking thing (I know...very descriptive) that mounts to the back of the carburetor and clamps onto the choke cable housing. mine snapped. thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Alec,
We just wrapped up a thread with Mr. John Smith who seemed to be having some similar problems. H emay have a 239 but the fundamentals are the same.
