Default 1978 f250
I have a 1978 f150 and have been having a problem with it latley, It will start up just fine but once it warms up I have to keep giving it gas or it will die on me. Any ideas what this could be?

Have you tuned the carb? It could be running to lean or, in some random cases, to rich because giving it gas will burn up enough that it will run right. Hope this helps!
