Re-starting is very difficult, but will start after I give it lots of gas. It will drive OK, but I have to make sure it won't stall. The carb looks to be a Carter wcfb 4-barrel. Stock 283. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Nov 24, 2007, 3:59 AM Post #2 of 3 (3556 views) Re: '57 Blues Sign In Lots of possibilities of course. How old is this gas and how is the car stored? These carbed cars will need owner know how for the choke, fuel needs and some basic understanding of the system. Since it starts right up I'm wondering about the fuel itself, fuel pump/filter and the choke settings may take choke off too soon which all should be adjustable. If you are new to this carbed car thing you will learn that they won't behave the same when cold given the ambient temp and how long it's been since it was driven to fully warmed up, T Bayoucitybomber New User Nov 24, 2007, 7:48 AM Post #3 of 3 (3555 views) Re: '57 Blues Sign In Thanks Tom, I will check it out.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
