Hi everybody:

My 66 Ford F100, I-6, 300,1 brl Carter Carb (used on 74 models), stalls some times on a left turns when climbing hills with barely sharp curves.
It stalls (dies) then recover again in a couple of seconds.
What would be the cause???.
I appreciate all your ideas and solutions.

 

my friend had a problem just like that once. he said the carb was loose. just check the bolts to start. probably not it, but you never know!

 

I will check them bolts, thanks for your reply.

 

My Dodge diesel hiccups on left turns from a dead stop when my fuel filter is getting clogged and needs to be replaced. Might be worth looking at filter if it's been a while. Just a thought. My 300 has a filter in the fuel pump itself. Bottom cartridge spins off and filter is inside the cartridge. Sort of a messy job and I get gas on the ground when I do it.

 

Just a guess, but... Since the stock gas line location is on the left side and a left turn pushes the gas out to the right, you may want to check to see that there is not a pin hole on the line inside the tank. Filling the gas tank may rule this out

 

hey ftrk66, make sure you post what the problem was since you are getting some pretty good "maybe it's this" posts. The person who guess right should get a prize. :-)

 

My thoughts exactly

 

I checked the Carb bolts ( not the mounting to the intake manifold), found tight, now I have to check filters(one on the fuel pump, and one between fuel pump and crab).

This only happen when climbing a hill with curves, other than that the truck drives wonderful on straight roads.

 

Check your float level,,,,if it is low, on left hand turns it might not have enough to be drawn out,,, <~~ brain is not working, but you know what I mean right?! Fuel is going right when you are turning left, fuel going away from intake to carb.

 

Well quit turn in' left. Jeepers!

And only go down hill!! Jeepers again.

 

Follow UPS driving routes... right turns only unless a left is a absolute must.

Gotta agree... look towards your carb float... condition??? Brass or plastic??? Bunch of CXXX in the bowl??? Level set the correct height???

And as posted above, post the cure once you find it, could be very helpful to someone else.

Almost a edit... just noticed you're in SA, if you have difficulties getting parts, post up what you need as there are many US members who may have better access to older and are more than willing to help.

 

The carburetor is new rebuilt or manufactured, I hate to tear it a part, it might not work better I am afraid.
I will let it till it get worse, then I will open the carburetor and service it with a new rebuilt kit.

Thanks Charlie for your help, I will not hesitate to ask for a help when I need it.

 

The float level is an easy adjustment on a holley. just look it up on google. there are 100 videos. do not be afraid!!!

 

I am out of my country on a trip to USA for about a week. I will post any results I could find on the Carb subject, thanks for sharing the info svolpone.
