Stalling when engine heats up
I notice carb is wet top to bottom (see pic) Stuck float flooding engine?
Would appreciate help!
Thanks
Re: Stalling when engine heats up
is it flooding? you smell gas when it dies? got spark when dead? kinda sounds like coil bad
Re: Stalling when engine heats up
Haven't checked spark yet. Will do. I do smell gas – it's soaking the carb.
Thanks!
Thanks!

your float is to high if the top cap is leaking @ idle.
next time it dies immediately pull a wire and check for spark.

When I first got my truck, It barely ran after I put new batteries in it and first cranked it over. After a month of limping around, I sent the carb our for a rebuild and the distributor out for a pertronix ignition.. Today I would do all that work myself, but then it made sense. However, it has run great for years, until this year when it kept dying after a few minutes of running. I replaced the coil and all had been good.
However, when the truck first stopped running, Before the rebuilds, it had a lot of liquid gas pooled in the intake manifold, kind of like your truck. I am betting you have a carb issue. For some reason, you are running rich.
Check for a nice blue spark. If you have that, I'd look at the carb first. Its a crap shoot. The coil could be going out on you.
Keep us informed on what you find

BTW, anyone know who rebuilds carbs in the North Jersey/Southern Tier NY State area?
