Carburaror (again)
1948 Pontiac Carter 2brl. Professionally rebuilt 12 years ago, driven 2000 miles and unused since.
Idles nicely. Severe hesitation (stall) if pedal slightly depressed. All speeds. Only way to pull away in an intersection is to stomp on the gas. Replaced accelerator pump, no change. Swapped with 1952 Pontiac carb and all OK, telling me that vacuum advance and electronics is fine. My amateur opinion is that stepping on the gas introduces an inordinate amount of air. All advice appreciated. Not a lot of carb repair people left. I'm in the Portland, OR vicinity. Thanks, Ivan Vegvary

Real simple carb to go through. -- Steve W.
