Greetings, - Pesky problem with my 61
My 283 2x4 (carters) all original with 58K was running fine until a couple weeks ago on the next time out after it's longest one day run (appx 100 mi) in which it ran perfect.
As soon as I stopped at a light once the engine was warm, it died and refused to start until it sat a little and I choked it to get it going. Once going, it would run until I slowed again and the same thing happens!!! Average weather outside. I changed fuel filters just to be safe and parked it for the day, but i have tried it two times since and the probem occurs just after the fist couple miles. I did see some fuel pushing out the carb jets, but did not experience and wooosh when I opened the fuel cap and having it open did not make it start. The only other thing I did before parking it in surrender was to play with the Carter climate control on the primary carb, turing it from the center where it has always been away from the lean side on the dial. This seemed to get it started while hot but did not last and might be a coincidence. HELP. Ps. Has new airtex fuel pump added last year when original went from sitting for years. Engine not running hot. Starts on first crank until it gets warm. THANKS
