I have been fighting a problem with my car over the last two weeks and need some guidance. Having replaced the original carburetor on my car with one that I had rebuilt I went for a test drive. Everything seemed to be going great when after 15-20 minutes the car would simply die. At first I thought it might be bad/loose ignition wires as when I checked the wires after a stall I found one of the wires loose but having replaced those the problem still occurred. I then thought of "vapor lock" as it has been extremely hot here but after the drive today the problem again occurred without the hot temperatures and within a short period of time. (I also had read that "vapor lock" only occurs when the car is attempted to be started after being turned off.) I now believe the problem is in the carburetor. If I drive the car keeping the rpms below 3000 the problem does not occur but when I run the car past 3000 rpms, after a few miles the car will stall.
Any ideas what area of the carburetor would be associated with such a problem?
Thanks,
