    I have a problem with my Maverick bogging down and or cutting off when trying to take off at a stoplight or turning into a parking lot it all most seems like it is trying to vapor lock. Could it be the carb. float stiking or maybe just a real good tune up (been parked since 2006 [cranked evey once in a while but never driven]) Also when trying to accelerate it wants to bog down

    sounds to me like too much fuel. I would say a carb tune up is in order. is this a V8 or I6?
