I have a Rochester B on my '72. The truck runs great most of the time but is a bit finicky on starting, needing to use just the right amount of choke and slight throttle blip to get it to catch. If not up to operating temp it will sometimes stall out if I de-accelerate to a stop too quickly.
Today it started fine but about 500 yards away it started bucking and died. It would re-start for about 5 seconds (full choke) then die. After about 20 minutes of this and generous application of carborater cleaner it finally smoothed out and ran fine. I took it home and road my bike to work.
I'm thinking a carburetor rebuild is in order?
Thanks,
Bob
