truck not running????
Well, I need some major help with my old 84 f250
The truck started running rough, under acceleration with the carb booging and stumbling very bad, to the point that I don/t know if the old girl will get me home ?
So i took the carb to a mechanic to have the thing rebuilt(it's a 2bbl. on a 351 with the C6), a week later and a $150, thecab was stuck back on the motor, it starts and idles better than before, so I decided to take it down the road for a quick tour, and the same thing happened before.
So I don't think its the carb, could it be a vacumn leak????

If it was running extremely rich before the carb was rebuilt, then the plugs are
probably fouled with carbon. Try putting a new set of plugs
and plug wires in it....Good luck!!
