Re: 51 239 flathead non accel
When idling, if you give it gas do you see any gas shooting out inside the carb?
I am betting you need to rebuild your accelerator pump but, while you have it apart rebuild the entire carb. Or send carb to one of the folks on Fordbarn who rebuild carbs. That way it will be perfect. Some over the counter rebuild kits have incorrect power valves so be careful.

Give it a try with plenty of photos and a price. Good luck. China carbs = junk. |

Re: 51 239 flathead non accel
Have you checked the linkage to make sure it's working properly? Are the butterfly's the same size or smaller than the holes in the manifold?

Re: 51 239 flathead non accel
Make sure the exhaust is open. I've seen plugged mufflers/exhausts cause engines to act that way.
