Stromberg AAV-26 - I am having issues with my carburator.   Seems that when the car is cold and slowly warms up, I have all the power I need.   I can rev the engine, run it at high RPMs.  Take the car for a spin.

Then when it is fully warm, the throttle body drops into place and opens up the choke and the carb seems to loose its power.  Its runs rough, looses power and eventially dies.   Then its hard to start until it cools down.  

It is not a vapor lock issue.   I have addresses the issues there and I am getting plenty of fuel.

PS - Does anyone have a restored Stromberg Carb for sale.
