Carter YF Help

[Anonymous]

I've got a '70 engine in my 66 Mustang - with a Carter YF carb. Trying to troubleshoot this problem since last summer: when the engine is warm, it stalls upon accelerating from a stop (not a great thing in traffic).

I've rebuilt the Carter, but there is a dashpot on the side that doesn't connect to anything! The picture of the carb in the rebuild kit shows this dashpot with a 'rod' (rod is missing) Is it some kind of accelerator pump?

Could this be the stalling problem? Any other suggestions to address this stalling problem??

Appreciate any suggestion!

I think the dashpot rod would connect to the choke plate.
I'm no carb expert, but if the choke plate is closed when it should be opened by the dashpot it could cause bogging/stalling.

i believe the only thing the anti stall dashpot does is a vehical with AC, or power steering, or smog, or any other feture that uses power from the motor, when in opperation, keeps the motor from bogging down. when u turn ur wheels the motor tends to slow a little the dahspot plunger puts pressure on the throttle so that it doesnt die, thus anti stall. it works off of heat and vibration i believe. i doubt that would be causeing to die when hot. how is ur fuel line being ran. It could be that the fuel inside of the line is heating up and bubbleing before it reaches the carb and goes into a mild vapor lock. what is your timing and vacume at?
