Does it die at stops regardless of whether you've had your foot in it?

I can understand wanting to go with Simple for the long trip. Crabs run on manifold vacuum, don't they? So no carb compatibility issues like on an 8BA/8CM.

PS -- Would be interested in hearing about your trip!
Stalling at stops seems to happen randomly, whether I have had my foot in it or not. Happens with idle jets set rich or lean. Floats are set a shade under 1/2 inch. Never fails to start right up.

I will post any interesting car stuff along the trip.
