hiccup

I have a problem. My all stock 8ba in my 53 ford between shifts hiccups also when I decelerate then hit the gas it bucks like it stalled. I use 87 octane .This has been a problem fro many years . I just got fed up. After a while even old Jarheads have had enough.

Re: hiccup

I do agree it is a carburetor problem it was rebuilt 17 years ago.
Who is a good carburetor man ? I have several cores one is from a mercury, I could send a core .

Re: hiccup

Make sure the linkage to the accelerator pump hasn't popped out of the hole.
