: 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?
Try lowering it, there's plenyety of fuel in the bowl for any accelerated start you might try. Don
