2 things. come to mind.
i check the distributor advance works to spec with my timing light (strobe)
if that is ok, its a carb issue.
carbs fail for many reasons, (mostly gummed up inside)
we clean them. that fixes them. (with a kit)
I only have this for symptoms, and is not good.
MAJOR HESITATION AND STALLING OCCURS
does the engine have full power up any hill wide open throttle
is the Hesitation only a short time then catches up.
The carb (not stated P/N or brand) has jets, the if gummed up
will cause lean running.
so will any power valve jet.
ever tune it up. new spark pats, rotor all the way to spark plugs.
bad spark , loves to fail under load, that is its , magic.
carb>
- low float bowl levels.
- low fuel pressure causing above,
- bad float valve , sticks closed and starts bowl of fuel, causing #1
- Gummed up jets.
- Gummed up emulsion tubes in carb body.
- Choke stuck on, causing flooding,
- Choke dead causing hard starts . (stuck open)
- power valve clogged.
- Highspeed accelerator pump bad, causing only sight hesitation.
my guess? based on 1 word "stall" its #1 to 3 or 6.
black spark plug tips would be #6
or if black sparks, the float valve is stuck open flooding engine and stalling.
we can go for days on carbs. but will not.
