So in my previous post I mentioned that every time I stopped at a stop sign or a red light, my engine would stall. I tried cleaning the carb with carb cleaner, but that didn't work. Then I ran across an article on the web that instructed me in cleaning out the Ventri Tubes within the carb. Although I did this, and wasted 1/2 day trying to figure it out, that was a fail as well. Lastly, I thought - let me just suck it up and buy a new one. Carburetors range in all kinds of types. So I opted in getting a lower grade version from Advanced Auto Parts instead of a high dollar one. I did this because later down the road, I plan on replacing carburetor with a fuel injection kit...but not till way, way down the road. The new United Remanufactured Car was $299, but I got a $50 discount from ordering online. So it was really only $250. I took a picture of all the hoses and connections before I took off old carb (i'm learning!) so I can put back correctly. After spending several hours on this, it was finally done. I pressed the gas pedal a few times and it started right up. I did a little test drive to see if I would stall at a stop sign - and WOW!!! No more stalling issues.
