Truck stalls going around right hand corner. Any ideas?
I got a 1980 f150 with the 4.9L I-6. the fuel pump has been converted to electric.
When i go around a right hand corner, the truck dies. once u straighten out, it will roll start its self and keep going. any ideas what it might be? |
I remember reading of one owner having that problem (not sure if it was a 6 or V8)........his float level was too high & was flooding the engine cornering.

Check to see if the carb is not loose on the intake. My friend's F150 would die turing right and a with a quick left wiggle would keep on running! We found the carb is falling off the intake on turns!
|
Are you sure you have enough gas in the tank? Sucking air as you turn maybe?
|
Only make left hand turns. No seriously, check the carb for tightness, they're infamous for loosening themselves from the intake manifold. Also check the float level as Ken suggested.
|
Ive had trouble with is coming loose before. the truck has done it for a long time. I'll check the float.
