Re: 544 1963 Stalling - Red dash light on

Well, It appears that the stalling was most likely due to me adding some carburetor cleaner to the gasoline. After burning through the gas, and putting new gas in, the car is running good again. I know, I know, EVERYONE tells me now that I should NOT add anything to the gas. Lesson learned. But sooo...

Re: Let's see your Volvo (The Photo Thread)

I was SO LUCKY to have gotten this sweet car about 3 months ago. It was love at first site.
I am feeling a bit sad today, as she is stalling out. So, today I am out in the driveway coaxing her to run again!

Re: 544 1963 Stalling - Red dash light on

I am wondering if this could somehow be related to a leak I fixed with the radiator with some of that quick fix powder that I added to it? I can't find the name of what I added, but I am sure you are familiar with that stuff. It did fix the leak. It seems to make sense that it is the carburetor. Uh ...

Re: 544 1963 Stalling - Red dash light on

Jimmy, Thank you for your quick reply. The oil seems fine, so I think I can rule that out. Would a problem with the generator cause the car to stall? Should I replace the generator? I sent the previous owner an e-mail asking what he thought the light was and part of his reply said "The alternat...

544 1963 Stalling - Red dash light on

The car had been running great. I left my home and drove about 5 miles and turned the car off. It started fine, but when I took my foot off the accelerator, it died. I drove the car home, giving it lots of gas, and restarting it when necessary, but it died every time I took my foot off the gas. Also...
