Friends:
I've spent hours on here going through years of threads with folks who have had this problem but given how old some of them are I was wondering if anyone had any more recent experience with this. Have had this rig for a month now. Obviously had to get a bunch of work done to get it up and running right, including the clutch and steering repairs. Seemed to almost be there when on day 2 of picking it up from the shop and driving around town a few hours, I ended up having it stall on me at a stop light. Was able to get home by keeping RPMs up at lights but now trying to work with my mechanic on addressing what could be going on. Seems like it doesn't want to idle at start after the Choke is pushed back in whereas previously I didn't even need to Choke to start. Of course, as soon as it gets to the shop... it idles fine. So, now we're stumped.
From what I can gather here the order of things to check would start with the idle solenoid >> vacuum leaks >> carb.
In CA and need to get this thing smogged eventually so trying to think through all of this with that reality in mind.
Figured I would see if any other 60 folks have recently had this. Separately chasing down a stronger than I would expect fuel odor in the cabin and saw some threads here where the cutting out could be a sticking EGR valve but can't find anyone confirming. Wondering if those two things are related.
I'll keep digging around but wanted to send up a flare. Definitely slowly and painfully entering into the community here...
