Hello all,
last week I wrote:
Has anyone had this problem?
TR6 newly rebuilt engine, carbs etc.. The car idles great. Mixture seems
correct and carbs are balanced. When you rev the car, it sounds great and
drops right down to the correct idle of about 800 rpm.
Here is the problem. When you drive the car and run it for a mile or so,
then try and stop by pressing in the clutch and braking, the idle drops down
to about 300 or less and many times the car stalls (quits). This happens
all of the time. If you try and give it a bit of gas (push on the
accelerator) to keep the idle up, it might not stall, but takes a minute to
recover to a good steady idle.
I have removed most of the emissions, but do have vacuum to the carbs still
connected.
Does anyone have any suggestions? This is really bothering me. As a
matter
of fact, I took it to a reputable mechanic, and he has a TVR (with a TR6
engine) doing the same thing. He can't figure it out either.
Thanks In Advance

It seems as though the answer might be in a gasket that goes to the carbs.
There is suppose to be a hole in a gasket to the carbs for a vacuum that
keeps the butterflies to the carbs slightly open when deceleration takes
place. I have not seen this yet, the mechanic that is working on the car
discovered that the wrong gasket was placed on the carb. I think this
gasket goes between the carb and the manifold. Anyhow, I will have more
confirmation of this later this week.
A very big thank you to all of those who offered there assistance. Some of
you were looking for an answer too because you car had gone through the same
symptoms. I had over 15 e-mails offering help. Thanks again!
