Corvair Forum

So after a year of sitting, they actually are looking to sell it now... they want $3500... OBO it seems kinda steep. They don't even know if it runs!

The guy said I ran when they parked it, and it rolls ... ugh...

I asked if I could check it out , they were cool with it. it turne...

I adjusted the float and it still spits... ill have to wait till Monday when I have time to work on it... I work odd hours... So according to the manual my car (1963) should be at 13 degrees. I'll add two pics... first is the fly wheel set to 13 degrees ... I think... Second is actually a question.....

Does your engine stall when the transmission is shifted to DRIVE with the engine cold, or only when it is fully warned up to operating temperature?
