In Reply to: Maverick keeps stalling! HELP! posted by jasonse on September 25, 1998 at 22:54:26:
could be carb. vacume leak. cracked intake,
bad timing chain. spray carb cleaner on the
base gasket and the carb gasket. if idle speeds
up, you found a bad gasket.
check for timing jumping(timing light). if you know how to set the timing. One time my mav sputtered and timing was jumping, it was a loose
coil wire to the distribitor. check rotor, cap, point
condition.....
good luck
: I just got a 76 Maverick and it keeps stalling out like its
: out of gas. Its driveable for about 3 or 4 miles then it will just sputter and die. All I have to do is wait abit and it`ll start up again and sputter and putt its way home
: I, of course, put gas in it, changed the fuel
: filter, fuel lines, and fuel pump. Could there be a problem
: with the carb itself? if so how do I fix it?! HELP!
