carby problems?
Hi my car starts fine but after 10 seconds it will die. If I pump the throttle quickly it will keep the car going but as soon as I hold the throttle on it dies. Anyone know what it could be?

Possibly an accelerator pump problem.

Also check float level, make sure enough fuel in the bowl

had same symtons a lil while back, mine was a air leak in the fuel line, grab a new $10 fuel filter thats see thru (doesnt hurt to replace every 6-12mths with these) if air leak youll see bubbles come thru the filter.
if air leak, grab $15 worth of new rubber fuel lines a couple new clamps (optional) and replace all the rubber line from fuel pump to fuel tank

Could also be an air leak somewhere else in your carb/manifold.
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............
