Hi,
I have a '53 M38A1 with what seems like a very "diagnosable" issue. The engine was rebuilt about 3 years ago and has a the correct carb. I leave it in MA during the winter, so it sits for about 8 months at a time before being driven again during the summer.
On to the symptoms:
The car was running fine until about two weeks ago when it began to stall out when you step on the gas. It starts and idles well, but as soon as I step on the gas, it revs a little bit then dies until I let up on the gas again.
I'm not sure if the engine is flooding or starving (is there an easy way to tell)? Any idea what would cause this?
