i'm new here and i have a engine problem
i'm new here and from reading the posts i see i might be able to get some help. when my truck is cold it makes like a missing sound stalls a little and nearly dies. it also happens when i turn a corner in 3rd gear. i know that something is wrong but i don't know what. i overhauled the carb but it still does it. any advise would help.
thanks

Welcome to the site>
First thing to know is to title the thread with the actual topic in it.
Nothing else required.
ie: Engine stalls when turning.
These trucks seem to thave the problem with cornering ...But doing it in THIRD GEAR ?
That's awful fast isn't it or are you LUGGING the engine when turning ?
What happens if you are in 2nd gear doing say 5- 10 mph when you turn a corner ?

Keep the RPM's above 1000 at all times when driving. A steady state cruise should be around 2000RPM.
