I have Weber IDF40s and the engine dies after a very hard, just short of locking up the wheels, stop. It runs good and doesn't quit any other times. Anyone else have this problem? Could it be the float levels?

Positive someone else's opinion is better than mine on this one, being a newbie to carbs, but thats exactly what it sounds like to me. I had an Holley with a misadjusted float on my old T-Bird and it did the same thing. Might try taking them apart and re-setting it to specs/checking float level.
