I had the stumble in my car and fought and fought it. Messed with the carb a bunch and finally checked the vacuum advance. It needed replacing but it was not leaking. That was the problem no advance. You may have already checked it but thought I would suggest it anyway. Good luck.

[@LGKustoms]

Few people have suggested that! I’ll look in to it

[@scottrance-im7xz]

I agree with others on your advance adjustments . Interestingly enough , most go for the carburetor as the problem . However most often the igition system is where you need to look . Example is a weak ign coil and or weak spark , and your timing advance . Most definitely carb stumbles can be an advance problem . Always go to the ignition system before tearing into a carb for drivability problems . Nice video

[@sinnovate3983]

Really enjoy your videos . . . always well done, entertaining and good information for those who are learning. Nice work!

[@TheSlamnslash]

I was getting 23mpg out of my 1950 Ford Custom 4 door with 8ba totally stock w/ 117k miles on it. Block is back from machine shop waiting for me to put it back together.

[@ronfast703]

Nice video. Great improvement in the miles per gallon 👍 Always good to see you, Shannon and Lux out there enjoying old cars.

[@RichieCat4223]

For your stumble, try advancing the timing a few degrees.

[@harleyveejay]

Big thumbs up, enjoyed the ride along and happy for you guys.

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks 👍

[@lawrenceveinotte]

Fun video Lee, well done

[@Zenny_6969]

..hi Lee....that was a fun episode.......glad that Chinesium worked out for you......looks like the family is doing well........thanks....

[@waynecreech]

I like the channel, the content, and Lee and crew, etc... I didn't like the "no loyalty to any country since it's all imported" comment/thinking. The US does a lot of business in Canada, and Lots of Jobs there at American companies. Let's also see how much China, England or whoever has Canada's back if they ever get attacked or invaded.. Just my $ .02 as a US born and raised with lots of Canadian friends including my wife from Ontario..

[@magnumprojects]

Great guy, he directed me to some finer details in this video for my 1935 pickup

[@DougsMessyGarage]

Great video. I'm starting in to a flat head project soon and knowing these Chinesium carbs aren't total garbage worth a Sub from a fellow Canadian KZbinr. Thanks for the info.

[@LGKustoms]

It’s still on the car, and I’ve still never touched it!

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

Thanks for the review. Like you I have @20 or more sitting on intakes. Those are cheaper them rebuilding the old ones. 👍

[@martinezindustriesco.2740]

I ran the NGK in my old coupe. Worked great for me too.

always fun good music

[@homespuntools2115]

Hi Lee , Shannon and Lux . Wow ... a new carb and a successful test drive . Thanks for the B C road adventure . Got to cruise to a car show yesterday there was a band there that played played Patsy Cline songs. It was the 20 th anniversary show, well worth the cause and a great reason to be there at 6 am to help out til it was over. About your newest Canadian Hotrods Magazine article ... instead of hearing when are you going to paint your car or the worst one a year ago ... maybe it will hail and you can can get a free paint job . A friend I've known for a millions years said when ARE WE going to paint your . I said no It's fine the way it is . His answer was it deserves better , I was going to tell you about getting classic plates too, but then you can't drive it to work almost every day . Guess he answered that question . He's a great person and has painted many , many 5 6 7 Chevys . Who knows ... but IT's fine with me for now !

[@LGKustoms]

Glad you liked the article. It’s gotten a ton of positive feedback.

[@rickrini6520]

I put one in my wife 1958 International and it worked great out of the box

[@rodschweiger4195]

I have great results turning the idle mixture with a vacuum gage. Just tune for the highest vacuum, real old school.

[@LGKustoms]

That’s what I usually use too. These ones I just set by ear though

[@joebukovsky8876]

Fun video.

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

Thinking road trip im in Bakersfield might head your wsy do like your 47

[@williammildaus3071]

Vacuum break in distributor set to tight, not letting wights fully advance, a distributor machine would solve problems, Motors manual tells how to adjust in car by accelerating from idle in third gear and adjusting till just a hint of spark knock the backing off adjustment till knock just dissappears.

[@seanmcconomy711]

I was wondering how those carbs were, spent some good money rebuilding a pair of 94s this winter, will have to try those next time.

[@timferriss905]

Just love a slap bass

[@mitchbarber3468]

U also need to check your points and timing not just changing plugs

[@LGKustoms]

The timing isn’t really adjustable on these early flatheads. You have to remove the distributor completely and set it up a special machine to adjust them.

[@KB10GL]

@@LGKustoms Special distributor machine? Yep, got one. They were a garage/ workshop item & every respectable repairer had one, so they should be around. Keep your eye open at swaps & on the "Bay"

[@mitchbarber3468]

@@LGKustoms i worked on flatheads, a 32 and a 41 when the rubbing block wears on the points, due to lack of lubricant, it changes dwell which affects timing. More critical if u are running a dual cap dist

[@gwolfe1231]

I still prefer to rebuild an original carburetor. Had good results. Have the same car you guys have.

[@LGKustoms]

I rebuilt this carburetor a couple years ago, and it ran terrible. Maybe I’m not a good carburetor rebuilder? I dunno? It’s running good now though.

[@shotsrodder]

Looks like the next repair is a steering box adjustment 😂😂 great tips as usual Lee 👍

[@LGKustoms]

Steers fine to me? Maybe I’m just used to it.

[@justinweaver8107]

I run that excat oil in my 50.

[@jamesruiz1776]

U r correct .. now days ur buy the name and not the quality they were once Known for it’s like that in most all stuff speed way and others stock Chinese stuff and sell to u with out mentioning were it’s made long as the name is there they blame the name

[@harold.degand]

I always wondered if sherryberg carb can do the job. You just proved it ! But what about the jets ? Do they have the same set up than the old carb ?

[@LGKustoms]

I’m assuming they are the same?

[@larryanderson8049]

Regarding the stumble, could it be a vacuum advance sticking, seems like advance at idle makes for a good strong idle and possibly a smoother transition from idle to midrange rpm

[@LGKustoms]

Maybe? It didn’t do it with the old carburetor though. Once it gets a bit of heat in it, it’s fine. By the second stop sign the stumble is completely gone.

[@larryanderson8049]

Sure enjoyed the ride up north with you folks..good to hear the new carb worked out...Ihave some chinese sidedraft weber clones that work very well@@LGKustoms

Ck the vacuum advance to cure your stumble

You’re the second person to suggest that.

[@daleferriss1444]

You need dual exhast

[@LGKustoms]

I definitely do!

[@timsager6153]

Jet sizes , same as old?

[@LGKustoms]

Good question. I never opened it up. Just bolted it on and went for it. It’s still on the car today and working great.

[@rustyrobinson8027]

Hi New baby❤

[@danbolton3180]

I think your car stumbles from altitude. Canada is higher on the map than the United States.😅

[@LGKustoms]

Yea, that’s probably it 🙄😆

How's it holding up?

Great! No issues at all

[@johnnysechrist6313]

Nice ride, but needs a paint job.

[@LGKustoms]

Does it? Will a paint job make it run better? More reliable?

[@johnnysechrist6313]

It would be more pleasing to the eyes.@@LGKustoms

[@Bigsbeee]

@@LGKustoms 100% no paint job - it looks so cool as is - Those carb’s don’t last long Lee.

[@graemeburr6463]

Lee interesting video thankyou. I run the same plugs in my 48 and always will. Is yours a US spec or Canadian Ford? Looking at your hood ornament and heads it looks US spec. We got the Canadian stuff here in NZ (which I like) ....C59A engine with the factory alloy intake on mine and a hood ornament like the 46 without the enameled 8 badge on it.

[@LGKustoms]

This is an American car. Came from Idaho

[@christopherlucarelli3850]

No , just no. If your not good at rebuilding carbs then send it to someone who is. They can use the work too.

[@KB10GL]

The vacuum port in the carb would be for ported vacuum, which would be used on a distributor with a vacuum diaphragm, such as used on 8BA engines. While I'm at it, 17.58 Liters divided by 4.54609 gives you 3.867 Imperial gallons or 18.1 Miles Per proper Gallon. It looks like you used that silly short measure US Gallon which is only a paltry 3.78 Liters. So there you go, a 20% improvement over your own erroneous calculation. Win win.

[@LGKustoms]

Even better!

[@janiechristensen2124]

You have a lot of cool cars come in your shop built in the U S A by RED BLOODSD AMERICANS (FRED C.)

[@LGKustoms]

Most of the cars in Canada were manufactured in southern Ontario. Some are US imports, my 47 for example was imported into Canada 7 years ago from Idaho. But the majority of the cars that come through my doors were all built in Canada.
