Question What would you do?

Your driving along hit a bump and the engine starts stumbles. It doesn't clear until you push in the clutch and rev the engine. This only happens after hitting a bump.What would you check? The car has webers.

Long time no see ... good to see you're posting, Bruce!

If there is a second or more time delay between hitting the bump and the engine stumbling ... it may be something like trash in the float bowl moving and blocking one of the jets.

If the stumbling is virtually instantaneous with the bump, then I would bet something like a loose or corroded connection in the ignition system is causing the stumble!

i had a bad key switch that would engage the starter every time you hit a bump. put a volt meter on the ign and find some potholes.
