Another strange newb question

[brianca]

Twice now in the week that I've had my truck I've pulled into a parking lot and be suprised by a speed bump or dip in the entrance of the drive. I hit the bump a little too fast, but nothing bad at all, just a little jarring. Both times the truck has died. It starts right back up and runs fine, but I'm a little worried that something like that would kill it.

what carb do you have? you probably need to lower the float level

I had an autolite 2100 do this same trick, I reset the float level like Blu72 eluded to, BINGO.

If the carb suggestions don't work look at your wiring real close make sure there are no bare wires especially thru the fire wall and the dash area , make sure all the connections are tight from the battery to ignition switch to the coil
