I would bet this has been covered but I am new here and not sure how to find it. I have an off-idle hesitation that sometimes causes the engine to stall leaving me to restart in the middle if an intersection.
I am a chevy/gm guy and inherited this from my grandparents. It is a great car and runs good. Gets about 20MPG with frequent A/C use.
The hesitation feels like an accelerator pump fail commonly found on my 86 chevy truck and 69 Chevelle.
I took the air cleaner off the top of the carb. When the throttle cable is actuated, the accelerator pump lever never pumps the pump, no matter how much thorttle you give it.
Linkage looks good, though it looks like it goes under the carb and I would have to take it off to see.
Is the carb worth rebuilding or should I get an aftermarket. I have read about the Webers. Anyone could recommend the exact part numbers I would need to swap that would be great. Looks like it takes a kit or something.
Thanks,
Walter
