    Hi guys,

    Another noobie question from me... I had a weber carb installed last fall and the truck has been running well all summer, until last night when I took it out. I stalled at the first stop sign; didn't think too much of it, but then it continued to stall when slowing down and eventually just had to head home.

    Carb seems to idle ok, but I noticed fuel is only squirting into one side of the carb bowl, not normal, correct? And easy way to clean this out? I admit I don't know much about these carbs, would it be worth having my local shop tune it up?

    Looks like you have a Weber. You may need to check if the float is sticking low and not letting the bowl fill up.

    -check your filters, may be clogged.
    -is the choke staying closed after its been running a for a couple minutes(assuming you have an electric choke)

    Thanks for the suggestions. WHat filters may be clogged? Also, fuel is supposed to shoot into both sides of carb correct?

    THanks!

    Your accelerator pump only hits one barrel.

    Theres a primary and a secondary. Secondary opens much later than the primary(probably past half throttle) for mo' powah.
