weird stalling
my car is starting to stall out when it is left to idle for about 2 minutes. The voltage gauge is reading about +20 and when ever i press on the gas just slightly the engine cuts out. Im not sure if its an electrical problem or a fuel problem. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Having no idea what carb you are running, the accel pump is usually cam and lever driven. You should be able to look down the barrel of the carb, pull the accel lever, and watch for a fine shot of fuel injecting straight into the barrel. I'd bet it is a fuel issue either way.

not sure why weimer20 thinks it could be the acc pump if it's stalling at an idle, sounds like a guess to me. anyway, he is right about lars knowing his shet.
