June 30, 200718 yr While driving down the highway when I have to slow down for say getting off at the offramp or stop and go traffic I put in the clutch to take it out of gear and the RPMs just drop out and the engine dies. It will start up with no problem but as you can imagine it'a a pain you know where! If I can keep the gas going without rear ending the car in front of me I'm good to go. Don't think it's the filter cause I replaced that a few months back, no sign of vacumn line leak or unplug. Anyone have any hints? Thanks All! PS. 87 Brat hitachi carb
June 30, 200718 yr I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I went to walmart and threw down on a cheap can of carb cleaner and some fuel treatment. I cleaned everything up and had my dad rev it out side of the car while I kept it running on the inside, he also sprayed some cleaner in. Mine must have sucked whatever gump through and started running fine again.
