Question Engine stop

Hi all!
New intake and outlet manifold! Happy on the test drive...
...engine stops after a 20minutes drive and will only re-start
with the choke control out. As I touch the gaspedal it dies.
Its a I6 230 1965.

Any one that could point me in the right direction?

Thanks! /2mas

Re: Engine stop

Electric fan?

Aftermarket intake and exhaust?

Sounds like the carb is plugged up if it will run with the choke out. Is it the stock Rochester? Check the fuel filter inside the brass feral where the fuel line goes in....Vernski

Re: Engine stop

Sounds like you might have a vacuum leak.

You might also check if your fuel line might be running too close to the exhaust header or engine block causing the gas to percolate in the carb.

Ok! I'll check this out. Feral? Is that in the carb? (sorry technical english is a bit tricky for this swede... :-) )
I've been looking for som kind of filter, but I can not find any near the fuel tank or on the fuel line.

The truck is completely standard, manifolds, carb, etc.

disconnect the gas line at the carb end and look inside the fitting on the carb side

Re: Engine stop

Removed the filter in the carb... See pic.
Fired the motor up with out filter! Works fine.
Thanks for the help.

Just hope that my fourth testdrive will not end with a tow.

Re: Engine stop

2mas you need to replace the filter or clean out the old one, I haven't seen one like you have they are a cone shaped fine mesh that inserts in the fitting in any case you need to either replace it or clean it there may be more stuff lurking in the tank it will plug up the whole carburetor without it. Then you will have to take it apart and blow with air hose to get it cleaned out good luck...Vernski
