Issues with my Stocker in need of a carb

MR DERBY CITY · 08-03-2015, 03:36 PM

PJ, just a couple more items to check. How old is the battery, I've seen seasoned veterans pull the engine for a rebuild only to find out it was the battery. Do you run a MSD .? It could be giving you problems. Lastly, pull the fuel line at the carb and tell me how many seconds it takes to fill a gallon jug. For your application you should be filling the jug in under 30 seconds. Remember, it's all about the Wally !!"........M.J.

Did it lose big time 60' , or are the numbers slow ,all the way?
What was it supposed to lose in the warmer weather?

I would change MSD box, coil and do like MJ suggested with the fuel flow. Check to make sure brakes are free. I will be at Bowling Green pts. race if you need to try on of my spare carbs.

Pj check the line between the pump and the fuel cell it's the only one in the system that has vacuum on it and after some time the inside of the hose collapses and the outside look fine had this issue a few years ago and it was hurting mine 4tenths and it wasn't missing.

Thanks all I will check that tonight. And I believe you're right it is the 800 I was mistaken from a previous conversation.
