well i have a 86 chevy sprint my carburetor died so i got another one. now here is my problem car idles good runs good. bur some times it idles good but when going to accelerate it starts stalling but if gas pedal is floored it stops in-till i let the gas go. i took the carb air filter off and the carb is sucking a lot of air more than usual so i manually closed the choke vent and it ran normal so i now is pulling a lot of air but it does it now and then any help plz

okay, so the stock carb is a mess of vacuum lines and wires. it needs all of them.
first off, check your vacuum lines. then the wiring. there should be nothing left unconnected.
if everything is not there, the carb will suck bad.
thats my problem right now.
the leaves the carb really rich withoout complete computer control.
chech out my 'tuneing the carb the wrong way' thread to see my progress in the mk1 forum.
and i truely mean in doing it the wrong way.

Check your fuel pressure. It may be a weak fuel pump.

It does it after I get off the highway or do a long trip. I have a new fuel pump on it is started when I changed the carb. To a new one at that I checked all hoses all good and gaskets. I'm thinking it electrical

A wideband will help. Should be bringing aroud11 if the mcs is dead or the ecu is dead.

OK tnkz

will if this keeps happening going to go back to my makuni carbs

At idle take a video of the carb.
Zoom in on the passenger side, and get a close up of the fuel/air level in the sight glass.

These carburetors are extremely easy to trouble shoot if you are willing to follow instructions.

OK

I been trying to post the video on my carburetor but cant so i finally finished my triple carb set up lov it

I believe you.

i finally got it here is a picture next the video

Nice Kuni's.
