I recently purchased a 1970 Ford Maverick, it runs great especially after I rebuilt the carb, put a new battery in it and fixed a hole in the exhaust. With all that being said when I start it I have to back the key off very, very slowly or it will die. It starts perfectly when I turn the key and it cranks, but if I just let go of the key it will die, whereas if I very slowly (over aprox 10-15 seconds) back it off it will stay running and then run all day if I need it to. What is going on here?
