Thanks all for your input...

Did you get your problem resolved? I'm having something identical, second time it's happened. First time the wire to the solenoid came loose in the connector. This time the wire at the same point is fine, but the symptoms are identical.

Thanks, RJ

You can diagnose problems like this with something I learned from my old man, who was an electronics guru. Make yourself a tattle tale light. Run a 12 v light powered from the source your troubleshooting - the other side to a known good ground. It could be the ignitor, coil, a module, relay, etc or in this case - jumper right into the power wire for the idle shut off solenoid. That solenoid opens when it gets power and shuts when it does not have power to prevent run on or dieseling when the key is switched off.

If you truck is running or the key is in the on position, the tattle tale light should be solidly on. If you are having problems with the power source then you will see the light flicker or flash and or even turn off.

For the truck to run you need air, fuel and fire.

This will help separate the fuel and fire (electricity).

Will most likely go with a troll hole carb to get the truck up and running and then take time rebuilding the original carb. Unfortunately it was not the solenoid.

Unfortunately it was not the solenoid.

So the solenoid checked out OK? Any idea what it might be, or you're just doing the replacement carb for now? I have a troll hole, and except for this idle thing my truck runs awesome, smooth, strong (in a 2F kind of way), and starts well. Timing is a little advanced so I run premium. I will chase my solenoid first.

My carb and tune up was done by ACC in Atlanta, they seem to do a lot of troll hole's.
