Engine dying on hard stops

Posted by Dick Sparks on April 08, 1998 at 07:12:09

My 31 A runs and idles great under normal driving conditions.
However upon hard breaking the engine will die. I can increase the idle with the throttle while stopping and keep it running. I have listened to the engine while making stops
and determined some loss of rpm even on normal stops. I was
advised to raise the float level in the carburetor (Zenith1)
and did so with no noticiable improvment. This does not occur
in reverse, only forward. I cleaned the filters and checked the fuel flow which all seemed normal. Gaskets were replaced
and no air leaks can be detected. The carburetor was cleaned
and other problems were visible. Any ideas?
