hey guys,
quick question... my 75 gt was running fine and idling fine up til this morning (i know if it aint broke dont fix it) but anyway i decided to drain a little oil and add about half a can of engine restore because i've heard good things about it. anyway after startup it ran for a few minutes and stalled. it will start up and run at a little higher rpm when i give it gas but when i let off it stalls. thinking the engine restore was the culprit i drained all the oil and put in fresh 10w30 which is what i have run and the last owner used too. Same thing.. stalls at idle can anyone help me out or have any ideas? Thanks

i have taken advice before on this group about carb jets being clogged.

i'm like, but its been running fine. but sure enough jsptown was right. i pulled it, blew it out, and wa-la, it ran fine.

dont know if thats it, but sure sounds like it...
